Cist Slab, Badden, A.1960.45

3D Model

This cist slab is from Badden, Argyll, Scotland. The slab is carved with diamond shapes and has channels at each end which held the sides of a cist. The channels do not respect the carvings.

The carved decorations on the slab are Middle to Late Neolithic, circa 3300 - 2700 BCE.

The slab’s reuse as a burial cist is Early Bronze Age, circa 2100 - 1500 BCE.

A groove has been roughly gouged out of the carved area, probably by a plough.

The overall size is 54 x 153 x 10cm
