Teeth, cist 7 (= sf 40). Tooth remains were found at the west end of the cist, and had apparently been disturbed. The enamel fragments are too small to identify, though the largest are probably from permanent mandibular incisors. The teeth are not heavily worn. It is unlikely that the fragments represent an elderly individual.
