The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating pasture. During bulldozing activilty in 1975 a pit grave was badly disturbed (Twohig 1976, 61, 68). It is located c. 12m E of a double cist burial (TS078-013001-). The pit appeared to be circular (diam. 0.75m) and was partially or wholly lined with small slabs and/or dry stone walling. It contained the cremated remains of one adult. Based on its association with the nearby cist it is probably Bronze Age in date.
