Dimensions: 1,40 m x 0,98 m x 0,50 m 

 

Discussion: Grave cut for multiple burial F6065 in space 84. Excavated due to the exposure of an adult cranium coloured with red pigment. The southern edge of the cut was unable to be determined as it ran under the walkway.
Due to time constraints it was not fully investigated. It possibly extends to the west as there were two neonate skeletons present. They are currently preserved in situ. The midden type deposit these two skeletons are lying in and also extends in to the higher western half of the grave cut. There is a possible cut visible on the surface. Relationships to two other neolithic burials F3089 and F3088.
