Cornelly Burial Cist
Archaeology
This site reportedly consisted of a circular bank within which a burial cist was identified. It is shown on the 1869 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map, which shows the ring and describes it as a "Burial Ground". A "Cist" is shown set into southwestern section of the bank defining the ring.
A modern description of the site found it to be a depression with a diameter of 25 metres but no enclosing bank and no evidence of a cist. The site had been rooted by pigs and badly damaged.
A "ring" with a diameter of about 36 metres does appear to be visible on the 2006 Google Earth Aerial Photograph. The true character of the site is not known.
