| Cairn | Tumulus or Cairn | New. Stat. Act. [Statistical Account] | 021.06 | "There was a Tumulus or Cairn upon St. John's-hill opened about seventy years ago, in the bottom of which a little under the surface of the ground, were found three long flat stones, one of them covering the other two, and having a shorter one at each end. In this was contained nearly a cart load of of rich black earth, having a mixture of half burnt bones and bits of oak charcoal without any kind of Urn. (New. Stat, Act. P. 315) [New Statistical Account. Page 315] From the present appearance of this object, it seems to have been originally a very fine Tumulus of the circular, or Conical type. It appears to have been opened in two or three places by some one as the holes are still to be seen. Its outline at the base is pretty entire, and altogether it forms a conspicuous object, it is situated on St. John's Knap, near the small farm steading of St. Johnshill. [Signed] B. Render Corp. R.E. 4/12/63 [Corporal Royal Engineers 4 Dec 1863] |
