Extract

During excavations carried out for Letchworth Museum with the support of the Ministry of Public Building and Works in August 1961, the iron rim of a cauldron was discovered in the ditch of an Early Iron Age enclosure (fig. 1). The latter formed part of a large settlement site at Blackhorse Road which is situated about a mile from the centre of Letchworth (Nat. Grid. Ref. TL/233339). The cauldron-rim was joined to an iron collar and still retained its two ring-handles: the fragment was fairly complete (pl. XLV a).
