Full Description
Two beakers, of indeterminate type, found in sand dunes. One is in Inverness Museum, the other in the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland (NMAS). Exact location is unclear. A fragment of cinerary urn, other sherds, a hammerstone, a flint scraper and quantities of grain were found by Callendar in two visits in 1910. There was also evidence of a hearth. In 1908 Callendar recovered sherds of a cylindrical vessel and two pieces of flint in a shell midden.
