008 | This was a heap of Stones and rubbish, it was partially removed for the purpose of road making. in the removal two stone coffins were discovered, the proprietor then prevented farther removal of the material, the remains of the cairn are about half what they were originally - there are two stone coffins still visible and the whole space around and over the Cairn is thickly planted with Fir and Forest Trees. I have shewn the remains of the Cairn as well as I could judge, and the position of the Tombs accurately as they are |
| STONE COFFINS [cairn; nr Threepwood] | Stone Coffins | Paterson's History of Ayr | 008 | The [New] Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] says " On a plain at the South bottom of the hill about 25 years ago were discovered several Stone Coffins under a large Cairn of stones. The total length of the Cairn is 72 feet its breadth 36 feet its height 10 feet. (these measurements are not accurate [signed] M.K ) In one of them were found some fragments of human bones, with a small bead of burned clay and a piece of copper like a defaced coin: but there was no appearance of the Urn. The usual indication of Christian burial was wanting as the coffins did not lie east and west. The cairn which contained these coffins and a considerable part of which is still left entire has been enclosed and surrounded with a plantation by Dr. [Doctor] Robert Patrick of Hazlehead the late proprietor.
