What is recorded here

Situated on the S-facing slope of Ask Hill. A polygonal cist (dims 0.53m x 0.4m), originally with five sides and a single floor slab, was discovered in building work during 2005. It contained a vase urn placed mouth upwards that was filled with the cremation of a child. Fragments of another vessel, which may represent a separate urn burial (WX007-066001-) were found in the section.
