Artifacts found (now in Dumfries Museum) were a pygmy cup, urn fragments, flints and half of a stone bead. A sample of carbonised wood from the pit containing the pygmy cup gave a Carbon-14 date of 1360 BC +/- 90. Three ring cairns were excavated in 1964: (a) 12 ft overall - no artifacts or structural work was found. ................
