Description: This little vessel bears the characteristic ornament of concentric rings round the neck and in shape it is not unlike the larger vessels made of clay and used as sepulchral urns.
Remarks: Sir John Evans says these are rare, but at Welby, 2 objects occurred, at least a bowl and a cup apart from the discs, which are not very often found and there may be many others hitherto unpublished.
