Full Description
NH55NW 31 511 596.
In March 1980 a short cist was discovered during ploughing. The cist measured 1.1m W-E by 0.6m by 0.7m N-S internally. Inside was a crouched inhumation, with the head (face upwards) at the NW corner. Six flint flakes had been placed in the SE corner, but the original position of the Northern type beaker is not known as it was removed by the finder of the cist. The skeleton and other finds, along with the excavation archive, are in Inverness Museum, INVMG 980.11. (See also NH55NW 12)
