Between February and July 1989 a radiocarbon sample, presented by Mr Robert Gourlay of the Highland Regional Council, was taken from the collagen of a female human femur associated with the skeletal assemblage discovered in the burial cist at Achavanich, and was processed by the British Museum in London. This work was carried out as a part of a larger beaker dating programme.
The results presented an uncalibrated radiocarbon date of 3700 +- 50 BP (BM-2590).
