042 | On this spot stood "Buchanny Cairn." It consisted of a large heap of Stones, which were removed some years ago, to build dikes and houses in the neighbourhood. In the Centre was found a Stone Coffin and some fine mould of a blackish appearance. Mr. Miller of Laight (who pointed out the Cairn's Site) - States that there could have been very little short of 3000 Cartloads of Stones in it. The field is still called 'Cairn Park. And the name appears on an old Estate Map, dated 1772. |
