044 About twenty five years ago while Mr John Ingram was employed trenching a part of the Ben Hill he came upon what he considered
ancient graves. In some 12 or 15 he found the head enclosed by four small stones. The bodies appeared to lie direct east and west. Also a few mound which were more irregular and much larger, but in all of them he found pieces of bones charred wood and black clammy earth. The people in the neighbourhood speak of
this place as the Old Grave Yard.
