v2.c35.328

Outside the stone circles enclosing the passage chambers there were a large number of pot-burials. They were found in the upper levels of cairn packings on the platform. The finds from the burials included limitedly the Black-and-red Ware, coarse red ware and a copper bell having a rectangular base and suspension loop on top. The shapes in the Black-and-red Ware comprised the bowl, globular pot of medium fabric with collared rim and the wide-mouthed jar with fragments of bone respectively. The red-ware jars were mostly used for child burial. There was, however, a total absence of iron objects.
