In 1861 two cists were found about 0.75m beneath the surface of the ground 200m NNW of Ury House; the cists were aligned from E to W and had pebble floors. In each there was an 'urn'containing a cremation; one of the urns, which was preserved in Ury House but is now lost, is illustrated in the Name Book and was probably a Beaker.
