Cairn ( site of ) continued
" In the bottom of a very small Cairn which, in 1789 was annihilated in the lands of East Rogertoun the property of His Grace the Duke of Hamilton, were found five urns, not of the ordinary shape. They were about 18 inches high, 6 wide at the one end and 4 at the other, both ends were open, they were said by the Workmen to be glazed and ornamented with flowers, and narrower at the middle than at either end. They stood upon smooth stones distant from each other about third? Of a yard and placed in a circular form. The top of each urn was covered with a thin piece of stone. They were all totally destroyed by the rustic laborers, so that not a fragment was preserved."
This cairn was on a slight eminence about 15 chains N. E. [North East] of the farm house called East Rogerton.
