The National Monuments Service's description
Located towards the top of a gentle N-facingl slope. A Cordoned urn was discovered in 1967 c. 1.5m below the surface of a gravel pit. It had been inverted over a rough stone (dims. c. 0.85m x 0.46m; T 0.2m), but contained no cremation or other deposit. In 1974 a second pit-burial (WA034-007002) was discovered c. 12m to the SSE.
