Recorded monuments

• GA084-139 Children's burial ground
  Description

  In rough pastureland. During the course of the construction of a house in the late 1970s, a number children's bones and skulls were uncovered and reburied some 26m to the E of the house. The landowner believed that a burial ground probably occupied most of the plot on which the house stands, although no grave-markers were to be seen anywhere. A souterrain (GA084-140----) lies c. 16m to the SW. The following image has been uploaded: GA084-139----_01.jpg Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 11 July 2023

• GA084-140 Souterrain
  Description

  In rough pastureland. This souterrain came to light in 2004 when the ground was being levelled in advance of the erection a steel shed to the SE of an existing house. During the course of the work, a narrow roof lintel was removed leaving a gap (L 1.4m; Wth 0.4m), which although inaccessible, enabled a visual inspection. It appeared that the souterrain ran c. 5m to the E from the gap, before turning sharply to the N. Drystone side-walling was visible under the roof lintels. Evidence of a children's burial ground (see GA084-139----) was revealed when the house was constructed in the late 1970s.
