001 | [Situation] About 4 chains South of Grange House On the spot indicated a number of Stone Coffins were found a few years ago, when some excavations were being made in Connection with some improvements - They were formed of rough unhewn flags and Chiefly Contained mere dust, although in some instances bones were discovered - There is no tradition as to any battle having taken place here, but from these Coffins having been found so near the site of the Roman Wall it is probable they may have Contained the remains of those who have fallen in some struggle near this spot, such is the supposition in the locality - They were found on the estate of Mr. Caddel of Grange. |
