ANCIENT POTTERY FOUND AT TWITTY FEE, DANBURY. 119
Nearly all the foregoing pottery was found in the filling of
the ditch near the N.E. angle. Some of the other trenches cut
to trace the ditch also produced pottery as follows:—
Trench 3. Rim of a hand-made cooking-pot, Fig. 2, No. 5.
Twenty-four small fragments of native fine ware, all thick,
with polished exterior, many with cordons, but no forms
recognisable.
Three minute chips of coarse ware.
One large and one small lump of burnt clay, the larger perhaps
from a hearth.
Trench 4. One fragment of a large coarse store-jar.
Seven small chips of native fine ware and a fragment of a
base like the large bowl (Plate IX, fig. 7).
One fragment of overburnt reddish buff clay, possibly from
an amphora of the type associated with La Tene III tombs (e.g.,
Welwyn, Arch. 63, p. 4; and Lexden Tumulus, Arch. 76, p. 242,
and Pl. L1, fig. 1), but in too bad a state to be certain about it.
Several pieces of burnt daub.
A small piece of charcoal.
Trench 9. One chip of pottery and a handful of small pieces
of burnt daub.
