Abstract: The urns were found within a cairn. One was badly damaged and empty. The second contained charcoal and cremated human bone. A further deposit of charcoal and cremated human bone lay nearby. The charcoal was identified as birch and oak. The bones have been tentatively identified as an adult female.
