Mr. Donald, Watchmaker, Rhynie. Revd. [Reverend] Mr. Stewart, Rhynie. Mr. Stuart, Mill of Noth. |
043 | About eighteen years ago when two Laborers were digging for stones for road purposes, from a Knoll, near to the Mill of Noth, and when about three and four feet from the surface they discovered a small Sepulchral Chamber, composed of rough unhewn slabs of stone, lying North and South, containing an Urn with burnt bones therein & which, when touched & exposed to the air, crumbled into dust. The Cist measured about three feet in length and one foot eight inches in breadth. The body appeared to have been doubled up and was found lying on its left side. The urn was about six inches in length and about three in diameter & was shaped like a common small flower pot. |
