| [Stone Coffins or Kistvaens continued] | [continued from page 31] a few years back, a small black ornament was discovered in one of these "Kistvaens" which is now deposited in the museum of the Watt Institution. In shape it is somewhat of a square from 1½ to 1¾ Inches but partly rounded at the edges. The surface is convex with a double groove rudely cut round the rim and underneath is a hollow indentation worked out to admit of its suspension by a string. It is half an inch thick; thined out from the centre to 1/8th. The material is a sort of bituminous shale and the object is conjecured to have been used as an amulet |

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 Angus, which is in the east of Scotland.
