An east-west aligned stone cist contained the remains of a partially disarticulated adult male skeleton aged 50-60 years. A white quartz pebble was associated. The skeleton exhibited an ante-mortem injury to the pelvis and left femur, chronic infection and peri-mortem trauma to the skull and the spine.
