Full Description
According to Mr Munro-Fergusson (Novar House, Alness), an ornamented urn was found at NH 5568 6799 during the construction of a forestry road about 1965. It crumbled away when picked up. Fergusson didn't see it, but from a workman's description believes it was a beaker.
Visited by OS (I S S) 29 August 1972 <1>
A participant in a Community Timeline course, run by ARCH, reinforced the report that in the 1960s a cist containing a beaker was found while bulldozing a forestry road, but the beaker disintegrated on exposure to the open air. <2>
This area is identified as a cairnfield, but without cists or finds. <3>
