Full Description
Site of cist. It contained a complete skeleton and a beaker with decoration of triangles very similar to the Chapelden beaker NJ86SW0007. The beaker was bought at sale at Troup House. It stood 197mm high and was 152mm in diameter. Exact location of the cist burial unknown: this appears to be the same site as NJ76SE0011 recorded at NJ7964.
