Archaeology Notes

NO01SW 6 unlocated.

A cinerary urn from a cairn in Dunning parish, is in the Stirling Museum.

J Abercromby 1912.

A photograph taken by Magnus Jackson (MJ 700), now in Perth Museum and Art Gallery shows an collared urn 'dug from under a grave-cairn in Dunning Parish June 24th 1889'. The urn has horizontal herring-bone decoration around the collar, but shows no other decoration. This urn is probably to be identified with the cinerary urn from a cairn in Dunning parish reported to be in the collections of the Stirling Smith Museum in 1912 by Abercromby (supra), but now lost.

M D King 1994.
