Abstract


A short cist was discovered during ploughing at Thurston Mains and an intact beaker vessel, a flint knife and some bones were removed. The cist contained two crouched skeletons, both women under thirty five years of age. The body positions suggest that they were buried at the same time. A cist and beaker urn were found on the farm of Skateraw, after which the cist was filled in.
