More Details here

Site of a cist. An unpaved short cist, lying east to west and measuring 91cm by 56cm by 76cm , was found by workmen while quarrying sand in a field at Mains of Airlie in May 1963. It lay in the side of a natural hillock, 1.1m below the summit. It was excavated by H Coutts (1966) and this showed that its west end was partly covered by packing stones and small boulders. It contained fragments of an undecorated Food-Vessel, a rare type showing beaker influence, and a few cremated bones. The fragments of Food-Vessel are now in Dundee Museum.
