Abstract

Excavation of the cairn revealed a chamber containing disarticulated human bone, Neolithic and Beaker pottery, a stone axe and animal bone. A secondary cist contained a skeleton and two Beaker vessels. Investigation of mounds in the vicinity of a known Viking grave at Reay Links revealed four empty long cists and an unstratified bronze strap end of early medieval date.
