007 | Applied to a place indicated by cross on trace about 8 chains south west of "Fernybank" "About the year 1830, while the tenant of Fernybank was levelling a hillock in the haugh betwixt the farm house and the Powpot Bridge" (about two miles north west of Colmeallie). he removed a number of stones varying in height and breadth from eighteen to twenty-four inches. They were ranged singly and in a circle at short distances from one another, and enclosed an area of about twelve feet in diameter. On trenching down the knoll, the encircled part (unlike the rest of the haugh, which was of a gravelly soil), was found to be composed of fine black earth but on removing several cart loads, operations were obstructed by a mass of stones, which occupied much the same space and form as the layer of earth. Curiosity prompted the farmer to continue his labours farther, but after digging to the depth of three or four feet and finding stones only, he abandoned the work in despair without finding anything worthy of notice." Jervise's Land of the Lindsays. In contradiction to the above the tenant of Fernybank who gave the information to Mr. Jervise, states that he continued the search to the bottom of the Cairn and found a quantity of Charred wood. |

James Esplin Land of the Lindsays |
007 | A spear head was found a little south west of "Site of Cairn", "Since then (1830) several pieces of old warlike instruments, both in the shape of flint arrowheads and stone hatchets have been found in the same haugh, and so late as 1851, a spear head made of iron, and about fifteen inches long, was also discovered" (Jervise's Land of the Lindsays) |
