Casgliadau Arlein

Several sherds from a Middle to Late Bronze Age vessel broadly attributable to the Deverel-Rimbury ceramic tradition. Made of coarse fabric containing common angular crushed rock inclusions (1-3mm) with abraded buff surfaces and dark grey core. The rim is flattened and decorated with oblique incised line and the neck is slightly everted, defined by a broad, shallow, horizontal groove with several deeply stabbed circular impressions below. Both the oblique lines on the rim and near-perforations arounde the neck and shoulder can be found on other pottery of similar date from Rhuddlan (Quinnell et al 1994, 133-5, fig.12.1-2), and Four Crosses (Gibson in Warrilow et al 1986, 75, fig.12)
