2500bc-14/1300bc | Near the much bigger burial chamber at Chapel Carn Brae (Site 166) was a cist c0.85m square covered by a long cairn of small weathered stones with a standing stone at the north end. The cist contained earth, a few bones and three flint flakes, and a very finely decorated biconical urn of great size and with large handles which held the partially cremated bones of a small person, and which was dated to the Middle Bronze Age. It should be compared with the pot in the cist outside the chamber at Tregaseal (Site 6). |
