(HU 393 106). Sumburgh, Dunrossness, Shetland. Cist. Contractors working at Sumburgh Airport uncovered human bones in July 1977 necessitating a week long emergency excavation. The site was greatly disturbed but can be reconstructed with confidence as a boulder delimited cist containing a multiple burial which had been completely disarticulated and which was accompanied by several stone beads and broken pottery of possible Beaker or Early Bronze Age date.
G A Parry 1978.
