NO31NE 7 c. 39 17.
A short cist, containing a Ca beaker, bones and four barbed and tanged flint arrowheads, was found in July 1886, in a sand-pit in a knoll overlooking the valley of the Eden, at Dairsie.
The beaker (EG 193) and arrowheads were presented to the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland (NMAS) by Mrs Erskine of Dairsie.
J Anderson 1887; RCAHMS 1933; M E C Mitchell 1934.
The burial could not be sited. The name 'Dairsie' seems to apply to an extensive area in which there are several old sand-pits and quarries.
Visited by OS (R D L) 25 May 1964.
