A slab-built cist was discovered by ploughing on this farm, still covered by a single large capstone. The cist is orientated NW-SE and measured 0.59m by 0.96m and lies on the 150m contour line. Of the burial only traces of the leg bones and twenty eight teeth were recovered. A complete beaker of coarse buff pink fabric with three zones of cross-hatch and incised decoration was found on its side in the NW corner. The underside is also marked with double impressed lines forming a cross. The finds are in Perth Museum (acc. no: PMAG 1984.641).
