Summary
The discovery of a Bronze Age cist weathering out of the coastline at the North end of Druridge Bay, Low Hauxley, Northumberland (NU 284018) led to a small scale rescue excavation carried out by the Department of Archaeology of Tyne and Wear Museums for the Northumberland County Council. During the course of this work two cists (both containing Bronze Age beakers and one a human inhumation) were discovered beneath a rubble cairn. Both cists were completely excavated and the contents removed for analysis and conservation. A layer below the cists, believed to be Mesolithic, was sampled also. The contents of the cists and the environmental samples are yet to be studied, and the report below is simply a stratigraphic account of the excavations.
