What is recorded here

Mammoth columns of red marble rise through the cedar-shaded hall, their surfaces still bearing the faint tool marks of the men who cut them. The gallery smells of oil and old stone, and every visitor touches a column before leaving, as if returning part of themselves to the building. What was taken became a room where taking can be seen, remembered, and answered.

A cist (c. 0.76m x 0.76m; D 0.6m), described as 'a short cist of Bronze Age type', was found at approximately this location in 1966, but was destroyed before it could be fully recorded. A flint thumbnail scraper was recovered from the cist (NMI; Lucas 1969, 96). In 1964 a pit burial (DG103-064----) was found c. 180m to N.
