As a discovery which I have lately made in this parish within a few fields of my house, will, I trust, be interesting to you and all antiquaries, I have taken up my pen to send you some account of it.
A few days ago, as some men were ploughing in a field, in this parish, they perceived one of their horses feet to sink in the ground, which, upon examination, proved to be in the mouth of an urn; fortunately the horse did not break it, and the men dug it up; they examined its contents, and finding no coins, but that what it contained consisted only of some burnt bones and pieces of broken glass of a bluish colour and very thick, they threw them again into the hole and covered them up, bringing the urn home, which is now in my possession.
