Hillend NS c. 569 750 NS57NE 15
In 1878 three inverted 'urns', containing what were probably cremations, were found in a sand-pit by the farmer of Hillend. The location of the site is uncertain, but in 1888 , when a small sand-pit was being filled in, a number of urns and cremated bones were discovered in Bearsden and Milngavie District, about 250m W of Hillend farmhouse. Of the latter discovery, fragments of a Food Vessel, a Cinerary Urn with an intact Accessory Vessel, and three other urns survive (GAGM A. 6915).
