These sherds were brought into the Museum by Kerry Hunt on 2 December 1992 for identification. Found in a sand-lined hole while digging foundations for a factory on Hollands Road, Haverhill. Apparently found whole with ashes inside, but the number of sherds now present do not seem enough to be a complete pot.
