Late Neolithic

A Late Neolithic date was obtained from a single cremation pit which contained the remains of one adult, possibly male. This was an isolated feature that did not relate to any other Neolithic or funerary activity identified on site. Other prehistoric monuments exist in the wider area, including a number of standing stones located to the southeast of the Site and several stone burial cairns. These demonstrate that the area was important in prehistory, and it could be that the cremation was located here because of this.
