Mr. R Reddet David Patrick Esq Mr. William Lang |
007 | Mr. Reddet informed me that in the year 1820 when assisting to plough the field they came upon several large flat Sandstones about this place they were supposed to be Stone Coffins in one instance two stones were set on edge some distance apart and a large flat one laid over them, the others were lying near each other singly, but appeared to have been brought there, as the rock underneath is Limestone. Mr. Reddet does not remember of any bones or other remains being found but the soil being very dry and porous may probably account for this. |

"and there was found a Stone Coffin containing human bones."

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 Ayr, which is in the south west of Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
