2500bc-14/1300bc | A drystone wall cist with a cover slab, 0.6m x 0.5m x 0.5m deep, which contained an inverted oval-mouthed Beaker with a few finely comminuted bones. There were a few blue specks (beads?) among the earth which had sifted into the cist, but these could not be found when the urn was taken out. There was some evidence for a mound over the cist, retained by a stone kerb. The urn was dated to the later Middle Bronze Age, but the illustration if accurately drawn suggests an earlier form. |
