Context (Found together / assemblage)
Jenkinson's excavation notebook (GO3/5/1) has a short entry for 'several urns' found near Grave 17, but only specifies and draws one fragment of brooch: D 1924.24 A.2. It may be that D 1924.24 A.2-5 also came out of urns in this area but were not specifically noted by Jenkinson, or they may be from another context.
