A rock-cut stone basin was revealed during the laying of a water pipe trench. The basin was capped by a discrete cairn of stones. The function of the basin is uncertain as it was emptied by the farmer. The fill was mostly sterile sand. One sherd of pottery of Neolithic? Date was reputedly found immediately under the stone capping. This occurred in the Autumn of 1992.
