| Abstract: |
NM 879267. The excavation of this multiperiod cairn clarified the relationship between a Clyde type chambered tomb and a simple massive cist formerly considered to be a potential protomegalith. The Clyde chamber proved to constitute the earliest building phase, set within a heel-shaped cairn and containing neolithic burials. Beaker burials formed a second phase of activity in the chamber, together with a small cist immediately outside the entrance. The entrance was then blocked and the cist covered by a semi-circular mass of stones. Finally a massive cist was inserted into the cairn material behind the chamber. Finds include Beaker sherds, a Food Vessel and flintwork. A R |
