The
two cists are situated in a marshy hollow. The largest measures about
1.2m by 0.6m and is 0.75m deep but the end-slab is missing. The slabs
are grooved and the inner face of the E side-slab has two cupmarks. The
capstone is large (2.8m by 1.24m and 0.17m thick). Only the capstone of
the second cist is visible. |

cists were excavated in 1929 by Craw. The second cist measured 1.02m by

fragment of jet was discovered in the first cist.
Note: Another cist, which contained a cremation burial and an urn, was
discovered before 1865 but there is no longer any trace of it. |
