Via Mound Cist View all content for Via Mound

There is meant to be a cist in the SE quadrant of the Stones of Via ditch. What I found was well to the right of the stones however, so I presumed it to be my error for the aerial 'socket' until I saw on CANMAP that it isn't even "in the ballpark" for this. There is a waterlogged patch of ground going uphill and the feature is at the top of this. On CANMORE a mound HY21NE 4 formerly stood at HY260159 and in relation to my find it is worth noting that in 1928 a mound of stones (now gone) at the south edge of a pool of water was presumed to be its remains. RCAHMS archaeology survey section believe this cist may only relatively recently have come to the surface.
