017.03 | "In the beginning of January 1822, while some labourers were digging gravel for the high roads in a small tumulus or hillock near Fetteresso, the Seat of R.W. Duff Esqr, they found a Stone Coffin or Kistvaen about Six feet below the surface, in which were the remains of a human body. The length of the grave was about four feet, the breadth somewhat more than two, the depth twenty inches. The sides and ends consisted of single stones set on edge, and had no appearance of being hewn or dressed, the top or cover was also of one stone (Whin) of about seven feet long, four broad and six inches in thickness. The bottom of the grave was plentifully strewed with round sea pebbles, from the neighbouring beach. Above this appeared some vegetable substance, in which the body had been imbedded, and over that, covering the whole, a most singular sort of net work, beautifully executed, but which, along with all the other contents, fell into dust soon after being exposed to the air. The bones seemed tolerably entire, but, from the shortness of the grave the legs were bent back, so that the knees almost touched the foot of the coffin. The body appeared that of a man, rather below than above the ordinary stature, the flesh of the abdomen and other parts seemed converted into that fattish substance often seen in old cemetries. A great number of small black balls, was also found surrounding the body, which were plainly vegetable, and had much the appearance of acorns. At the top of the coffin [continued on page 238] |
