Cairns, North of Green Craig.
About 200 yards farther north than the site of No. 145 [NO32SW 26] in Creich Parish, and, says Small (1), "on the other side of the old road from Dundee," a mound known as "the Hundred Headed Know" seems to have marked the site of a prehistoric structure - possibly a cairn. "About a gunshot west from this," Small continues, "there has lately been a large flat cairn or cemetery partly opened, and several Roman urns found in it, two of which I saw; and though considerably less than those in general found, ... and though of coarse manufacture and sculpture, being only done with the nail of the thumb, yet they are of the same materials with the other Roman urns".
