Background to the Gazetteer | Table of Contents

Note that there may be a few slight discrepancies between counts given in the text and the returned results in the gazetteer. This is a result of corrections and amendments (not updates) made to the gazetteer since the research was published in BAR. This does not materially affect the picture presented but does add more detail.

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).
