Subrectangular short cist (dims. 0.9m NNW-SSE; 0.66m ENE-WSW; D 0.57m) whose N, S and W sides were defined principally by single slabs set on edge. Two slabs defined the E side. The floor was composed of two large flags interspersed with some smaller stones. Fragments of a tripartite vessel were recovered in the grave fill.
