Full Description
Site of three cists uncovered by farm labourers in 1893. The first cist, built of four large slabs and covered by a fifth, contained human bones and a beaker. On making a further search two more cists were found, one made of five slabs containing several bone fragments and the remains of two beakers. The third cist contained a beaker and bone fragments. The two complete beakers (types CA and CB) were preserved at Durris House and the sherds of the others were presented to the NMAS.
