"To the south of Coilsfield House, immediately west of the farm offices, is a circular mound enclosed by
a hedge, and planted with oak and other trees. In the centre & highest part of this mound, are two large stones
- masses of Basalt - which according to tradition, mark the site where the mortal remains of Old King Coil were
deposited. In May 1837, the two large stones were removed. The centre of the mound was found to be
occupied by boulder Stones, some of them of considerable size." etc etc

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.
