Cist in Northumberland
N5590
In 1857 a storm exposed a cist burial near the south pier at Amble. A single burial, with a skeleton and an urn, were recovered.
There may have been unrecorded burials uncovered in this area prior to 1857.
In 1883 a cist cemetery was discovered to the south, see "Amble Quarry Cists"
In modern times, a third coastal burial ground has been discovered along this section of coast, see "Low Hauxley".
