Located towards the top of a gentle N-facingl slope. A Collared urn was discovered in 1974 in a gravel pit. It had been inverted over a stone with another on its base, and contained traces of cremated bone. It was c. 12m to the SSE of the pit-burial (WA034-007001-), discovered in 1967. The area was investigated, but no other burials came to light. (Ryan 1975)
