Mr R. Gordon Farmer Gordonstown Rev: [Reverend] John Minto Clatt Mr Garrie Gamekeeper Knockespock |
043 | In February last (1866) when Mr. Gordon of Gordonstown was digging sand for road purposes he discovered an Urn firmly embedden in the sand containing burned bones but he unfortunately broke it in digging it up. This urn was discovered about 2½ feet from the surface. It contained a quantity of burnt bones, and also an oval shaped cup, resembling a sugar basin, four inches in diameter and one and a half in depth. Unfortunately this cup was also broken; but it appears to have been made of different clay from the urn. Near to where the Urn was found Mr. Gordon also came upon several deposits of calcined bones, & in one place these had been covered with flat stones. |

Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the county of Aberdeen, which is in the north east of Scotland.
