Urn Field is a group of chalk cob sculptures, inspired by Iron Age clay cremation urns found in Folkestone. The sculptures are located at East Cliff, close to the site of an Iron Age settlement. They honour these early settlers, whose close connection to the landscape, and their care and reverence for life and death, are embodied in their meticulously crafted ceramic burial urns.

Each Urn Field sculpture has a shard-inspired form, which references an aspect of one of the Iron Age vessels, whether a rim, handle, side or base. The sculptures also allude to the plants found on site. These include plantain, mugwort, elder, blackthorn, ash, blackberry, ragwort, and wild carrot. Though now overlooked, these plants were traditionally important for herbal remedies, cooking, or as superstitious charms. The shape, relief decoration, or texture of each sculpture is aligned to a particular plant: the handle-shaped sculpture refers to the looping bramble stems dominating the fringes of the East Cliff site, whilst the jug rim is stained with the blue-purple colour of sloes.

The largest Urn Field sculpture is approximately 1.5 metres high, almost adult height, giving the work a human scale. The pieces, arranged singly and in small groups, are scattered across the site, gradually revealing themselves to the visitor. The sculptures are constructed out of chalk cob, a building material used since prehistoric times. The cob, made from chalk, sand, stone and straw, connects the work to the local geology and flora. The chalk structure of the sculptures mirrors the colour and the fragility of the cliffs nearby, with the implied possibility of their gently breaking down and being gradually incorporated back into the environment.
