In 1949, a cist (KD020-015001-) was accidentally uncovered during the bulldozing of topsoil from the highest point of a low drumlin to expose gravel deposits. It was roofed by two slabs, one of which was decorated on its underside. It is a sandstone slab, roughly triangular in shape with one end coming to a point (dims. L 1m; max Wth 0.7m; T 0.2m). One surface carried a pecked decorative pattern of several scattered motifs, including a penannular or horseshoe-shaped pecked area, small pecked cupmarks, a pair of conjoined pecked circles, irregular patches of pecking, and a pecked lozenge-shaped area with an incised outline. (Hartnett 1950, 193-8; Waddell 1970, 120)
