(NS 6389 7293) Bronze Age Cinerary Urn found AD 1927 (NAT)
OS 6" map, (1971)
A collared cinerary urn was found on 26th March 1927, at a point 40 yds S of the Forth and Clyde Canal and 459 yds E of the Glasgow Bridge over the canal, by workmen making a cutting eastward through a long ridge of sand. The urn, which contained a cremation, was found about 6' below the ground level, on a layer of stones in a pit, which may have been under a mound of earth and stones, which Bryden suggests represented the base of a ruined round cairn some 20' in diameter. The urn was donated to Glasgow Art Gallery and Museum (Accession no: '27-11).
