Object of the Month – July 2018

Ancient pots from Little Hallingbury

 

July’s Object of the Month is a group of three ancient pots from Little Hallingbury. They are about 2,000 years old and were from the cremation cemetery of a late Iron Age community just before the Roman period. Gravel extraction led to their discovery in 1876.
