Archaeology Notes

NS24SE 24 2628 4199. NS 2628 4199 (information from A Morrison, 30 January 1970). A cist, measuring 3ft 9ins by 2ft 7ins by 2ft deep, was found in May 1969 when cutting a ditch. It contained a food vessel and a leaf-shaped jet-like object, which are now in the North Ayrshire Museum, Saltcoats. A few days later, a second cist was discovered at the opposited side of the ditch, about 6ft N of the first. Excavation revealed an almost circular clover slab, and the cist, which measured 4ft 6ins by 2ft 9ins by 1ft 11ins deep, contained a crouched inhumation, accompained by a fragment of burnt flint.
