Low Hauxley Archive: Cist 1 - Contents Removed
The cist consisted of four sandstone slabs that formed a rectangular box measuring 0.6 by 0.35m internally. The two longer side slabs had been made from one block of stone, which had been split in two. Small spalls of stone had been inserted in the gaps between the side and end panels as wedges, and even when the whole construction trench had been emptied out, the sides of the cist remained firm. The floor of the cist was made up of three thin sandstone slabs set within the walls of the cist.
