Demolition and foundation clearance revealed the remains of three cists. One cist, set in pure sand, was almost completely destroyed; the others were partly preserved in recent cement and house foundations. Two cists contained inhumed human remains which showed traces of burning. One of these burials had a Food Vessel, flint arrowhead and flint knife in association.
A Morrison 1980.
