History of Sanquhar George Osborne John Williamson |
006 | Extract from the History of Sanquhar, [--] The supposed site of an ancient Celtic battle, scarcely a mile and a half from the burgh, on the eastern slope of what must f[ormerly] have belonged to the Town common. The slop[e] of this green field contains many graves, all lying north and south, - a proof that they existed prior to the age of Christianity in th[is] Country, else the graves would have been l[aid] east and west, They are to be found scatt[ered] here and there throughout the field, every w[arrior] being buried on the exact spot where he fell[--] These graves are in many cases single, in other instances double, and some are of the breadth of four, and six, and so on, and in some places where the tumult of the fight h[as] been thickest, there may scores huddl[ed] together, |

Transcriber's notes
Site of BATTLE
- some text on the image is obscured at the binding. I have attempted to rescue it by reference to the cited 'History of Sanquhar' but this may miss punctuation etc. but the part of the "History of Sanquhar" isn't clear.
- the Name column of this entry contains "1m1 NE" - I am not sure what the second "1" is for - is it part of 1/2, which is mentioned in Descriptive Remarks, or is it a typo - Situation says 1 mile.
