What is recorded here

On a gently undulating SE-facing landscape. Cremated bone representing an adult male was discovered with a Bowl Food Vessel within a trapezoidal cist (dims 0.58m N-S; 0.43m E-W; H 0.5m) in April 1978. The cist had had single stones on the side-walls, which leaned to the E. It had a single roofstone (dims 0.63m x 0.63m; T 0.15m) and the floor was paved with four stones.
