“A small early Bronze Age cist which was only discovered in 1999. The cist, which was scheduled in 2003, was excavated in 2011 as the peat mound around it was drying out and shrinking. Despite the collapse of one of the side stones an intact burial deposit including cremated bone and associated organic artefacts was found inside. The organic remains which were found to be in an exceptional state of preservation included an animal pelt, identified as bear, a textile bag, a braided armlet with tin rivets and tin, amber and shale beads.“
