A small cist was discovered in March 1980 while deep-ploughing the field W of the main drive up to Brodick Castle. A fine example of a Food Vessel decorated in four bands, was removed intact by the workmen. Members of the committee of the Isle of Arran Museum subsequently excavated the site and re-erected the cist in the Museum where the pot is also to be placed. No bones or artefacts were found in the sand filling. The cist was in line with two standing stones immediately to the W (NS03NW3) and the three are equally spaced some 30m apart.
