Cist in Tyne and Wear
Cist burial with a single person and a decorated urn. The site was discovered and destroyed during building works.
The urn is in the Great North Museum. It is illustrated in Roger Miket's "The Prehistory of Tyne and Wear" (NZ 26 NE Number 2 on page 36 and 37), and, probably less accurately, in "The Borderer's Table". The latter, via Archive.org, is illustrated here.
