Full Description
Modern walled cemetery. Totally flat (except in NE corner) & patially cut into slope. No obvious archaeological features on the surface. Some way from beach and other occupation sites - HAW 11/2004
Two possible horn cores. Other bones generally too small to identify, one seems to have butchery marks and other possible gnawing marks - no other diagnostic or dating features, food waste - HAW 01/2004
Photos. Report via Andy Summers (Ranger) of midden material being found while digging graves in the modern cemetery. Pictures of horn sent to SMR, but gravedigger has apparently a bag of bone finds that he has collected previously. Recommended that these come to the SMR for identification - HAW 11/2003
