摘要：As part of the Historic Scotland Human Remains
Call Off Contract, Glasgow University Archaeological
Research Division (GUARD) undertook an archaeological
excavation of an artificial mound and
associated cists containing human remains of
mid-Bronze Age date, at Ferndale, Rendall, Orkney
(Illus 1). The excavation identified the presence of
two cists containing cremation burials (cist 004 and
cist 010), and a third that contained a poorly
preserved inhumation (cist 003). Cists 004 and 010
would appear to be related to an artificially created
mound, and parallel a number of similar ‘barrow’
sites from Orkney. Cist 004 contained an inhumation
and was of differing construction. It would
appear to relate to a different phase and tradition of
cist burials.
