017.14 | About 18 years ago when some men were ploughing along the S. [South] [Side] of the plantn. [plantation] on Doons Law they discovered Several Stone Coffins buried only 10 or 12 inches beneath the Surface. The coffins contained human remains likewise a small urn of unglazed earthenware. About 28 years ago when the field on the N. [North] Side of Leetside Steading was being drained a brass Camp Kettle was found near the spot indicated on trace. I believe the Kettle is now in the possession of Sir George H. Boswick, Bart. [Baronet], Blackadder House |
