Cist in Northumberland
In 1883 a cist burial was found in a quarry on the coast just south of Amble, at Wellhaugh Point.
Investigations showed that there were at least 20 cist burials here. A large collection of urns was made. The site is now a car park.
See also "Amble Pier Cist".
See also "Low Hauxley", a modern equivalent coastal burial site to the south of this one.
