In 1948 the remains of three Cinerary Urns were discovered in the sand- dunes at Luce Bay. The first was found beside a spread of gravel and fractured stones, which contained a few chips of flint; only fragments of the rim and some burnt bones survived. The second urn lay 0.9m to the N on the edge of the gravel spread; it had been inverted, and covered a cremation with a jet bead. Fragments of a third urn and three flint tools were found about 35m to the NE, where there was a concentration of large rounded stones on the gravel surface. Numerous sherds of Early Bronze Age pottery and pieces of flint (both tools and waste material) lay strewn around the site.
