Parish of Kilbride
" In another (Stone Cist) which a man at South Kiscadale fell in with several years ago, in making a fence round his garden, there was found a piece of gold in the form of a handle of a drawer thus Ω with some iron or steel, much corroded at each end. The man concealed his prize, till he got it disposed of to a jeweller in Glasgow. It was therefore never submitted to the eye of an experienced Antiquary to ascertain either its age or probable use - From the description given of it, the probability is that it was the guard of a sword handle" New Stat [Statistical] Account.
