Strandhall Farm Burial Cist

Archaeology

An inhumation burial within a stone cist was found during ploughing and subsequently excavated by L.S. Garrad in 1982-3.  It was thought to have originally covered by a barrow or cairn. Nearby, a small deposit of cremated bone was found, which was probably originally buried in a bio-degradable container. Two body sherds from a cordoned urn (Accession No 83-203a) were recovered from an adjacent setting of stones but no other finds were noted. The two burial areas were separated by a partially stone-lined gutter of which the function was not apparent.
