The National Monuments Service's description
On ‘Lady’s Island’, a small tidal island comprising of sandstone outcrop and sand. At the western end of the rock outcrop burials are suggested by the presence of three cist-like structures contained within a narrow strip of marram grass (c. 15.5m E-W; c. 2.9m N-S). Human remains, consisting of two fragmented long bones and possible pelvic bone, were recovered from redeposit material within one of the structures. At the eastern end of the island four similar cist-like structures are contained within a small area of vegetation (c. 7.5m E-W; c. 3.6m N-S).
