Excerpt from Annals of the Church of St. Mary, Shaw-Cum-Donnington, in the County of Berks Since the above note was written a remarkable discovery has been made in the church-yard at Shaw, of a very large Ancient British Cinerary or Sepulchral Urn, containing ashes and burnt bones. It was found in removing the ground on the north side of the church near the post and rail fence, at a depth of about four feet, but unfortunately broken in removal. A description of this Urn will be given in the zud Vol. Of the Field Club Transactions, now in the press. In immediate proximity to the spot where the vessel was discovered, the writer has since picked up several good specimens of flint flakes and scrapers. A number of pieces of Roman pottery and glass are lying about in different parts of the church-yard. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
