Full Description

Eroding short cist burial found spring 2008, by Dr M. Harman, SNH.

MML 30.5.08

A single articulated skeleton (in a crude crouched burial position) was excavted from within a small slab-lined cist within an area of dune blow-out on the west coast of south Uist. Thirteen other possible features were identified, ranging from walls to cairns and cists. Three were partially excavated, but no evidence to suggest that they once contained burials was discovered.
