Archaeology Notes
NR92NW 4 9029 2742.
NR 903 276. A short cist, 2ft9ins by 1ft8ins by 2ft4ins deep was found early in March 1959 by Mr J Craig, Bailemargaidh, Blackwaterfoot, when ploughing at Broombrae farm. It lies in a field some 100ft east of the Blackwaterfoot - Kilmory road, and about 150ft south of the Allt Gille Ghagaich. No trace of a cairn was detected. It had evidently contained an adult crouched burial, though the bones were much decayed. Accompanying the burial were a tripartite bowl Food Vessel, a flint flake and two pieces of pitchstone. These were donated to Glasgow Art Gallery and Museum (Acc No: A5916). A date of about 1500 BC is suggested for this burial.
