R. Arkley Esqr. Ethiebeaton James Webster - Kingennie Robert Spalding Drumsturdy |
051 | [Situation] About 3/8 mile SW by W [South West by West] of Ardownie. This spot consists of a rising ground or slightly elevated knoll great numbers of stone coffins and human bones have been dug up from time to time here the space in which they were found is about ½ acre. Mr. Arkley the proprietor calls it a "Roman burial ground" but he has no authority for this but mere conjecture. Some are of opinion that there was a large tumulus here at some time past and had been leveled, but this also is conjecture. That great numbers of stone coffins were found there is no doubt. In the new Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] it is remarked that, "tumuli rude stone coffins and human bones have been found around the Gallow Hill of Ethiebeaton". Enquiry and research have been made but none of these could be found except the stone coffins described above. |
