What is recorded here

Situated in the valley of a N-S section the Blackwater Stream, close to its source and with the stream c. 150m to the NE. A cist constructed of siltstone slabs (dims. 0.9m x 0.6m) with a stone floor was uncovered in ploughing during 1995, when it was excavated by the NMI. It contained a tripartite Bowl Food Vessel, but there was no evidence of a burial deposit.
