The National Monuments Service's description
Two short rectangular cists and two unprotected extended skeletal burials were found in sand pits on a spur extending E from a ringwork (KK023-080----) in 1838. Both cists contained cremated bones. One cist contained a lidded food vessel and the other contained two food vessels resting on the sidestones. The exact location of this flat cemetery is unknown. (Anon. 1860-61, 168-9)
