In low-lying pasture close to St. Movee's burial ground. Discovered while digging foundations for a shed. The remains comprised the lower portion of an unaccompanied inhumation enclosed in a pit lined with limestone slabs. Aligned E-W narrowing at the E end (L1.7m, Wth 0.4m). Probably of Early-Christian date. Three pieces of unworked flint pebbles and a retouched piece were found at the site (Stout 1992, 17-18).
