Archaeology Notes

NS40NE 8 c. 48 05.

Thomas de Colville granted a big hill-farm at Dalmellington (NS 48 05) to the Cistercians of Vaudey, but by 1223 the Lincolnshire monks were forced to transfer this estate to Melrose Abbey as it was 'useless and dangerous to them' because of attacks by the native population.

G W S Barrow 1980.
