The National Monuments Service's description
A cremation-burial accompanied by two large vase food vessels (or possibly vase urns) was found in a cist which fell out of a pit face during sand extraction in 1930. Several years previously, another burial of 'unknown character' had apparently been found in the same area. (NMI).
