Full Description
A broken urn, found with bones while digging for sand. A sketch in ONB (1867) suggests a possible beaker. The ground around for a space of 3.65 m was covered with fine gravel and three large rough stones circa 1.21 m long were set on end equidistant from each other - site of possible cist and cairn remains. No further information.
