| A STONE COFFIN-CONTAINING HUMAN AND OTHER REMAINS-FOUND HERE [Church of Monzievaird] | . | Revd. [Reverend] William Robertson Mr. Perter McCrostie Mr. Hugh Millar |
095 | "In the year 17--, there was found, about one hundred yards to the westward of the old church of Monzievaird, a barrow containing a stone-coffin, in which were inclosed two coarse earthen urns, the one filled with burnt bones, the other containing the bones of the head. Of these, the under jawbone and the teeth were very entire. In the stone coffin was also found a stone hatchet, bluish-coloured, very hard, about four inches long, and of a triangular shape, - a remain which proves the barrow of very remote antiquity- prior to the use of iron. The stone hatchet is preserved at Ochtertyre" From Statistical Account P.740. There are no traces of the "barrow", alluded to in the above account, now on the ground. |
