Bronze Age Burials Unearthed on Isle of Bute

Ancient remains of two people from the Bronze Age have been found in a long-lost burial chamber on the Isle of Bute. A farmer uncovered the cist while ploughing a field at Rhubodach. Archaeologists later excavated the site and confirmed the presence of two individuals dating back around 4,000 years. The upper burial was an adult male and beneath was a female thought to be an adolescent or young adult. Their remains, along with pottery and grave goods, are now being cared for at a specialist facility for archaeological human remains in Edinburgh.
