Rescue excavation was carried out at this site in 1977, following the appearance of a human skull in an eroding coastal section. Work revealed a long cist, containing the skeleton of a human male. The cist measured 2m long by 0.65m wide and was 0.35m deep. The skeleton was almost complete. A radiocarbon date of 1085+/- 55 AD was obtained from the bone (Hedges, 1978). The site is no longer visible.
