In undulating pasture. In 1975 a cist grave was uncovered during bulldozing activity (Twohig 1976, 61-9). The rectangular cist (dims. 0.7m N-S; 1.1m E-W), aligned NE-SW, was stone lined with two compartments, separated by a stone slab and the cist was covered by capstone (dims. 1.05m x 0.6m x 0.15m T). Each compartment had a single floor slab, upon which rested an inverted cinerary urn, both with cremated human bones, though the urn at the E end, which was broken by the bulldozer, also contained a small miniature vessel. The NE urn contained the remains of an individual aged c. 15-16 years and the W urn held the remains of an adult male. The cist was assigned an Early Bronze Age date, c. 1700-1400 BC. Another grave (TS078-013002-), badly disturbed by the bulldozer, was found 12m to W.
