Burial in Lispatrick Lower — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

January 1990: storm stripped the cliff edge at Lispatrick Point and showed three skeletons stacked together, barely thirty to forty centimetres under the ground. The sea had taken most of the place before anyone could study it properly. Whatever ritual or misfortune brought them together, the coast kept the answer and gave back only bone, layer and shadow.

Burial partially washed away by storm, exposed January 1990, on edge of cliff at Lispatrick Point. Three skeletons, one on top of another, lying 0.3-0.4m below ground level. (pers. comm.
