What is recorded here

Bremore holds a twelve-metre circular mound near the shoreline where water-rolled pebbles still fill its disturbed core. Kerbstones marked its northern and southern edges in the 1970s, suggesting a deliberate boundary around a chamber now hidden beneath a level field of tillage. The tomb belongs to the broader Bremore cemetery, preserving a quiet death-place where ancient people likely watched the sea and tended their dead before the land changed.

Located near shoreline in a level field of tillage. This passage tomb is part of Bremore cemetery (Rynne 1960, 80, Mound II). The site comprises a small circular mound (max. diam. 12m; max. H 0.7m). Kerbstones were visible at N and S sides in the 1970s. Disturbed core material consists of water-rolled pebbles (Herity 1974, 209, 255). Geophysical survey (Licence no. 06R0050) of the mound did not return specific structural detail (Gimson 2006, 10). The area was also subject to a constraint study carried out by Margaret Gowen & Company Ltd. in advance of a proposed port. In addition fieldwalking and lithic analysis was undertaken for an MA study (Collins, 2007).
