Two short cists were found in March 1875 in the gravel pit near Kirkbuddo Station. (Kirkbuddo Station is at NO 4965 4365, and a gravel pit is shown on OS 6" map, Forfarshire, 2nd ed., (1903) at NO 4894 4377). One cist contained the remains of decayed bones, accompanied by a beaker, 5" in diameter and 5 1/2" high. The second cist contained an almost complete skeleton, accompanied by a large boar's tusk, a flint knife and a beaker, 6 1/4" in diameter and 7 1/2" high. The two beakers, tusk, knife, and skull from the skeleton in the second cist were auctioned by Dowell's in 1889. (This gravel pit is very close to the Roman camp - NO44SE 15; possibly the items recorded on NO44SE 11 came from here also.)
