North Esk Reservoir NT 1550 5823 NT15NE 1
In the 1880s erosion of an island in the North Esk Reservoir revealed several long cists which contained inhumations. In 1905, when the site was re-examined, nine cists were uncovered, and what may have been the positions of three others were identified. The cists were aligned from ENE to WSW, and six of them were set in a row; most were paved, ranging in length from 1.1m to 1.7m, but there was one smaller cist which measured only 0.5m in length. The island is now submerged.
