Thatot No. 3, in condition fragmentary, is also of fine dark ware, and with an elegantly turned rim; it is without handles. Its bands, of incised zig- zag ornamentation, are similar to those on a vase found in a cromlech at L’Ancresse in Guernsey.5 The perfect patera found in No. 1 grave, and the fragments from the others, were of fine dark, thick ware.
