NH 863 756 A watching brief was carried out on 14 April 2008 prior to residential development. Balintore village is rich in burials of widely differing dates and types including Bronze Age stone-lined cists containing crouched inhumations (NH87NE 5) and extended inhumations (NH87NE14). The mechanical digging of three foundation trenches was monitored. Redeposited material was recorded in trench 1, while trenches 2 and 3 contained areas of possible buried topsoil. All three trenches were archaeologically sterile.
