259.02 | There are four Tumuli in this trace three on Clauchog farm, and one on Torrylin on the east side of the Torrylin Water, the latter only is mentioned in McArthurs Antiquities. It has been very large but has been partly demolished, and the bones and ashes strewn over the field for manure, (by a Mr. McKinnon of Lag) there are strange legends in connection with the affair that has made a fearful impression on the natives, who are predisposed to the supernatural, they say a hurricane shook his house to the foundation on the night of the [the] occurrence, when not a blast of wind was felt in the neighbourhood, that fear and terror haunted him till he was shortly afterwards Killed, by a fall from his horse when one night returning from Brodick; Of the three tumuli on Clauchog farm, the larger one immediately beside the garden, has been dug into some years ago by the present tenant Mr. Spiers, for the purpose of erecting a flag staff, the labourers came on a large square flag, which was partly raised by a lever under his direction when he discovered a large cavity with human bones, he immediately without further inspection relaid the flag in its original position, and erected the [flag] flagstaff on the top of it. He believes it to be the grave of a Chieftain The Tumulus beside the Lime Kiln has been untouched The smaller tumulus to the east of the Lime Kiln has been partly demolished and ploughed, numerous stone cists, human bones, and as I learn from D. Cook above mentioned who assisted at the demolition several urns were likewise found but they invariably went into dust with the touch of the hand. |
