NF 7161 6823 During the course of a field visit by members of the Society in April 2008 it was noted that two small stone settings were eroding out of the sandy cliff face within 5m of the NGR for previously reported Beaker pottery (DES 1978, 35, 36). The settings were about 2m apart and appeared to have been constructed in the same strata of sand. Each consisted of two on edge slabs set approximately at right-angles to each

other, between which was a dark layer covered by a layer of rounded quartz pebbles. Given that Beaker pottery was found close by, it seems possible that these represent the largely eroded remains of cists, although other interpretations are possible.
