2500bc-14/1300bc | A rectangular tongued and grooved cist beneath a cairn contained a cremation. The bones were partly burned and belonged to an adult male c50. There was stone paved floor, and clay mortar luted the joints and the coverstone. It was a possible imitation of a wooden coffin, and possibly Early Bonze Age. |
