[Page] 102Fullarton in his Gazetteer says, "The chief scene of the contest
is Supposed to have been a large plain Southward of the village
of Largs, still presenting a recumbent Stone 10 feet long (see standing stone)
which once stood upright and is beleived to have been placed
over the grave of a Chieftain; and vestiges of Cairns and
tumuli formed, as is said, over pits into which
the bodies of the Slain were thrown."
