Full Description
Site of a long cist, uncovered during road works in August 1983. Excavation determined that the remains were oriented roughly north-south, but had been disturbed prior to their 1983 discovery and were incomplete. The remains were re-examined by AOC Archaeology in 2016. The individual was identified as a possible adult male aged 26-35 years, and a bone sample was radiocarbon dated to 597-670 cal AD (95% probability).
