In 1949, an irregularly oval-shaped cist (dims. L 1m NE-SW; Wth 0.8m) was accidently uncovered during the bulldozing of topsoil from the highest point of a low drumlin to expose gravel deposits. The cist lay 0.7-0.8m below the ground surface and was formed by a drystone wall two courses in height (H 0.4-0.5m), a floor paved with thin flags bedded in a thin film of clay resting on the gravel, and was roofed by two slabs, one of which was decorated on its underside (KD020-015002-). It contained the crouched inhumation of a male about 5' 6" in height and aged 30 to 40 years. (Hartnett 1950, 193-8; Waddell 1970, 120) A second cist (KD020-016----) lies c. 300m to the WSW.
