NT25NW 14 c. 21 59
In the early eighteenth century three urns containing cremations were found in a mound which lay at the foot of 'a small eminence' known as the Battle-law, within a mile of Penicuik House (NT 21 59). The mound, which was small and contained few stones, cannot now be located. In one of the urns there was a 'clay lamp'; in another a Bronze Age tanged razor decorated with a hatched-lozenge pattern; and in the third a bronze stylus and case of Roman date (RMS,FT 86-7).
