Administrative History This archive consists of two parts. The first relates to post-excavation work following recovery in January 2009 of several inhumation burials under a Historic Scotland human remains call-off contract. One of the burials was in a short cist that was eroding from the base of a large deflation hollow, close to the site of a previously excavated burial cairn and cist. A second burial site was discovered during the course of the fieldwork, when disarticulated bone was observed in the surface of a stone-covered mound 3m to the S. It consisted of the articulated and disarticulated remains of at least three individuals. Also found were two jet beads and a copper alloy pin. This was reported by Olivia Lelong. The second part relates to a furtherdiscovery in the same area which was investigared by Carol Knott, and consists of a data structure report, site notes and skeletal recording forms. The 2009 investigation described Areas A, B, and C; in 2010, the nearby area was designated Area D so that the data could be considered together within GUARD. The site notes and skeletal record forms contain material from both January 2009 and January 2010.
