Cairn (destroyed): OS Grid Reference – NS 783 926
Archaeology & History
An old tomb that has long-gone by all accounts. It could be found 200 yards south of the remaining King’s Park cup-and-ring stone, and was a well-defined cist, “situated within a gravel mound and (it) contained a skeleton.” Several other prehitoric tombs were in close attendance to this one, but all appear to have been destroyed. (Thanx to Paddybhoy for prodding my attention here.)
