A Bronze Age stone cist containing a food-vessel and bones was found whilst ploughing on the farm of Mr Frank Rodger, Kenly Green, in 1952. The cist measured internally 4ft 7ins by 3ft 4ins by 1ft 6ins.
CBA 1952; The Times, 14 January 1952.
The Kenly Green cist contained a food vessel, a flint artifact, the remains of a crouched skeleton and the incinerated bones of a second body (unpublished notes of R Walmsley, Bute Medical School, St Andrews). The food vessel and flint artifact are on display in the Bell Pettigrew Museum, St Andrews.
