Cist and Urn found 1927 — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Gravel diggers on Larch Hill in 1927 broke through soil and stone to reveal a hidden cist, pulling an enlarged food vessel from the dark. Its outside wore cord-like marks, while the inside carried a sharp herringbone zig-zag, suggesting careful hands and urgent ritual. The hill keeps that chamber beneath its slope, waiting for rain, roots and patience rather than display.

Situated on the NW-facing slope of Larch Hill. A cist uncovered in 1927 during gravel extraction (Waddell 1970, 115). An enlarged food vessel was found in the cist. The pottery is decorated externally with cord-like decoration and there is zig-zag in a herringbone design in the interior (Mount 1989, 32; Waddell 1990, 81). Not visible at ground level.
