An Urn was found (in the one to the North), which was broken to pieces when removing the stones of the Cairn. And (in the one to the South) was found a Mortar Stone, about 18 inches square and 6 inches thick, flat on the under side, and scooped or chiselled out on the upper side to the depth of 4 inches. It appears to have been used for the purpose of pounding provisions in, or holding some liquid. it is a hard granite stone, and is in the possession of the finder, Mr J. Tocher. Boghead. |
