During the late summer and autumn of 1954 farming operations in NE.Scotland produced their customary crop of Bronze Age cists.On 30th August farm workers removing gravel with a mechanical excavator from a rounded hillock on the farm of Nether Criggie, parish of Dunnottar, Kincardineshire, 3 miles SW. of Stonehaven, unsettled the side stone of a short cist containing skeletal remains and three beakers (Nat.Grid ref. 37/838823).Ten days later workmen bulldozing trees from Bught Park on the outskirts of Inverness were responsible for raising the capstone of a cist which had become entwined in the roots of an ancient beech, and revealed a grave containing a skeleton and a bronze dagger (Nat.Grid ref. 28/656437).'Then on 1st November a third cist was exposed by a firm of agricultural drainage contractors while cutting a trench to the smallholding of Upper Cairn, Memsie, in the parish of Rathen, 3 miles SSW. from Fraserburgh (Nat.Grid ref. 38/973622).This contained the sherds of a broken beaker but no skeletal remains.Each of the sites
