A "coarse earthenware vase". "Some fragments of the urn which contained them have been preserved, and from them it appears that it did not exceed four inches in external diameter, so that it would require ingenious packing to get the coins into the urn had they been as numerous as some reports made them. The material of which the urn was formed was clay mixed with pounded shells - I think cockle shells. It was but imperfectly burnt, and, as far as can be judged from the fragments, devoid of ornamentation of any kind. "
