What is recorded here
Grange holds one buried body beside its neighbours, marking the hill as a graveyard rather than a empty field. The rectangular pit aligns east-west and may have worn a stone lining, giving the dead a made shape instead of a common hollow. That small craft suggests the person mattered enough to be set apart, even if no name has reached us.
A single burial was identified through test-excavation (Licence no. 06E0799) SW and downslope of other burials (DU005-157----). Aligned east-west the grave cut is rectangular in plan and possibly stone lined (Frazer 2007, 26).

A single rectangular grave cut, possibly stone-lined and aligned east-west, likely dates to the Early Christian period; its association with nearby burials suggests a local cemetery or ecclesiastical site.
