Archaeology Notes

NT27SE 119 27 72.

Among 'Iron Age Cists', Ritchie lists the crouched inhumation of a woman in a cist found on Arthur's Seat; the upper stone of a quern is associated with it, therefore it is not of Bronze Age date, but its date is uncertain.

J Grant 1882; Information from TS of J N G Ritchie, 1971.

Noted.

NMRS, MS/726/96 (43, no. 19).
