Charles Cook Dipping Alexander Nicol Dipping Archibald Cumming Dipping |
255.13 | A small Knowe on the farm of Dipping. |
| STANDING STONE [Dippin] | Standing Stone | Charles Cook Dipping Alexander Nicol Dipping Archibald Cumming Dipping |
255.13 | A large Monolith or standing stone stood on this Knowe, but was broken, the portion to the surface still remains (probably sepulchral) and as all those standing stones are considered in Arran as the work of giants, and Fingal is believed to belong to that class of persons, hence the name, Torr an Fiannach (or Giants' Knowe). |
| CAIRN [Dippin] | Tumulus | Charles Cook Dipping Alexander Nicol Dipping Archibald Cumming Dipping |
255.13 | This Tumulus is being removed, it was originally a large cairn considerably higher than the surface of the adjacent ground, in its demolition an interior circle of large upright stones was discovered about ten feet in diameter (they are standing still) in the centre of which human bones and ashes were discovered. A quantity of the black clay which composed the inner circle was scattered over some ploughed land, they say the produce from which was enormous, far surpassing the same amount of Guano, from what I can learn from Nicol & Miller of Dipping, who levelled the Cairn it has all the characteristic of a regular tumulus. It is not mentioned in McArthurs Antiquities, but that work is very loose in its information, and detail. |
