Situated on an E-facing slope of rising ground overlooking a nearby river to the E in an upland area. Cremated human bones found in a pit (0.65m D; 0.52m W) with flagstone floor and capstone with prostrate pointed stone (1.7m x 0.8m x 0.25m) which may have been erected over the site (Lucas 1961, 89). The second burial was found 10m to the W and consisted of the cremated remains of a burial placed in a pit protected by three small slabs with accompanying bronze blade (Waddell 1969, 3-5). No visible remains at ground level.
