Archaeology Notes

NT07SW 10 039 714.

Six long cists were found in 1864 in a field at Burnhouse (NT 039 714), where similar cists had been found from time to time. A small built-up pit was found at the same time. Miss Henshall suggests a 5th-9th century date for the long cists.

R Hutchison 1868; A S Henshall 1958
