"The Mound which is of an eliptical form, measures in length about 25 yards is 9 [feet]
breadth. and between 4 or 5 in height. It' proximity to the Church, and the circumstance
of human bones having been found beneath a portion of it that was removed Several years
ago, afford testimony corresponding to that of the Norwegian Chronicle, that Haco [did]
bury, at least, some of his dead, at the church of Largs."
"The only other vestige which has withstood the changes of modern times, is
the barrow close by the west wall of the burying-ground, which corroborates
the Norwegian account of their dead having been interred at the Church."
