NB When the cairn was excavated, it was shown that the cairn was clearly constructed to contain a single cremation, probably a male. It was constructed directly on the existing ground surface in an area that was probably pastrure. 18 sherds of pottery were recovered, of different fabric to VS4, and dated by Optically Stimulated Luminescence by Ian Bailiff at Uni Durham to 4,000 years BP +/- 500.
