NO 3316 0630 The capstone of a short cist was dislodged during ploughing of a field at Rameldry Farm. Excavations revealed a substantial stone cist which contained the remains of a crouched adult inhumation accompanied by grave goods: a dagger and six V-perforated buttons. Three trenches were excavated adjacent to the cist but no other structures or deposits of archaeological significance were found.
A full report has been lodged with the NMRS.
