A. Jackson of Park Alexander Roxburgh, Craigmuir J. Wardrop Moore Esq. Proprietor New Statistical Account |
011.14 | A field belonging to “Greenhall” in which Urns are said to have been found, but at what particular part cannot be pointed out by the oldest & best authorities in the locality. The Knowes seem to have been levelled, there being, at present, but one, which is too insignificant to define as a hill feature. The name as “Law Knowes” is well known; as “Law Hills” it is not generally recognised except by the more intelligent persons of the locality, who prefer the popular name of “Law Knowes”. It applies now to the field in which the Urns were found. |

Ordnance Survey - Lanark county
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 Lanark, which is in the west of Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
