Monument record MHG55585 - Human Remains, Farr, Bettyhill

Human remains were discovered in October 2011 in close proximity to those described under MHG54228. GUARD Archaeology recovered the partial inhumation on behalf of Historic Scotland under the Human Remains Call-Off Contract. The disarticulated remains had been buried in a sand dune that had collapsed due to burrowing and wind erosion. The incomplete skeletal remains recovered appear to represent a single inhumation, although no archaeological contexts associated with the burial could be discerned. No artefacts were recovered and it is not possible to date either of the burials. See the excavation report for more details. <1>
