Allegedly, this oak coffin is intended to be on display in the new improved Museum of Antiquities in Newcastle.

As it sits now, in good company, in the warm, away from the elements, with a little cardboard tag tied on with string.

The grid ref given here is that matching the spot where in 1913, an oak coffin was discovered during ploughing. It’s 1.67m in length and contained a few teeth, remains of stitched calf skin, a drinking cup and flint scraper. Radiocarbon dates of 2400-2200BC were determined, suggesting an early BA date for the burial.

the C&R stone does not seem to have been part of this burial, but it’s exact findspot is unclear.
