What is recorded here

On a gentle NW-facing slope. A cist (L c. 1.82m), paved with stones and covered with a capstone, was found in the mid 1920s in a low circular mound (WI027-008001-). It contained human bones and some ‘light yellowish-coloured paste’. Some of the stones were removed by the farmer and used for building walls.
