| Law (Continued | 032.04 | [continued from page 159] to this mound, or "Law" as it is well known, is common in the district as at the "Law" in Balgrochan - i.e. of being a place where the Romans (?) administered Law &c. The places on which both the "Laws" stand are about a mile from the Roman Wall & north of it. Whether these names refer merely to the Laws or Hills on which they stand, or to what they are supposed in the district - of places for justice &c. (probably Court Hills) cannot be ascertained. The only authority for the Urns being found in this mound has been handed down by their forefathers to the authorities quoted on the other side. (See New Statl. [Statistical] Account below) "There have been several Urns found in the Parish containing ashes & burnt bones. The Urns were about 5 inches in depth & fifteen in diameter, made of course clay apparently baked in the sun, a species of frieze work encircled the lower edge. They have been found in Cairns generally placed between two flags" New Statistical Account. |
