Mr Alexander Watt Mr A. Craighead Mr G. Burness |
065 | The Site of a Tumulus a short distance north of the farmsteading of Boghead. "One of the larger of these barrows was opened many years by Mr John Lumsden, the farmer in Boghead. In removing the stones for the purpose of building fences, there were found several pieces of a black substance, very light, marked with dots of a different colour, and perforated, as with the view of they being strung together. And from about the centre of the cairn, a stone coffin was dug up, in or near which were discovered an Urn containing human hair, and a large ring capable of containing 2 or 3 fingers, and composed of a substance resembling finely veined marble. These relics, which seemed to all who examined them to be of very antiquity, were sent to the Earl of Buchan". New Statistical Account There is no traditional Account respecting these Tumuli. |
