104 (3) Poltalloch

In 1960 in the area of the settlement [NR89NW 11], about 500m SW of North Lodge, and about 50m N of the cists [NR89NW 36], the remains of a cremation burial were salvaged after having been disturbed by a bulldozer; the burial, which had been deposited in a pit without any accompanying grave-goods, was that of a single individual (DES 1961, 11).
