There was a second phase of building on top of the original mound. Barnatt states "Near the surface of this mound a small stone chamber was found containing a 'food vessel'."
I guess this could have been the cist.

Almost certainly. In Rude Stone Monuments Fergusson says that the 'excavating' team were disappointed not to find eny remains after digging a tunnel to the centre from two sides at ground level. When the planks that held up the tunnels were removed the tunnels collapsed and a cist was discovered. It reads as if the cist fell into the tunnel.
