Clay Head Burial Cist

Archaeology

A cist is orientated northeast to southwest and measures internally 1.8 metres by 1.1 metres, and is lined with stone slabs up to 0.8 metres high. It is set on an irregular gorse covered mound with an average diameter of 8.0 metres and height of 0.3 metres. It appears to be a ditchless bowl barrow. In the south and pointing towards the cist with its north edge in line with the south ends of the east and west stones is an erect stone 1.0 metre high, 0.8 metres wide and 0.1 metres thick.
