In 1974 a pit was discovered some 3m to the E of the cairn; it contained a cremation burial, a calcined bone toggle or pin-head, a smoothed stone and several unworked flint flakes. A radiocarbon date of 1314 bc + 55 was obtained from an analysis of the accompanying charcoal. Whay may have been a second outlying cremation deposit was discovered at the same time 4.5m SW of the cairn. The finds were donated to the NMAS.
