What is recorded here

One chamber keeps its stone roof while the other opens skyward, proving that building and breaking belong to the same place. The completed cist stands as a finished room for the dead; the open one stands as a record of the attempt, practice or abandonment behind it. Leean preserves both because comparison needs its gaps as much as its answers.

There is an open short cist (LE011-001002-) on the perimeter of the quarry of the megalithic tomb (LE011-001001-) at SW and a second cist with the lintel in place is on the perimeter of the quarry at E. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 15 April, 2016

Cist in Leean is a small Neolithic burial chamber, likely dating to the Early to Middle Bronze Age, associated with a megalithic tomb complex. Its proximity to a larger tomb suggests it may be part of a wider funerary landscape.
