NX98SW 19 c. 934 847.
A sepulchral urn containing bone fragments and ashes was found on Bankhead farm (NX 934 847) Dalswinton, Kirkmahoe, in September 1789. It stood inverted on a flagstone within a drystone wall forming a square pit and over it, also face down and resting on the same flagstone, was a larger urn, which was broken by workmen at the time of discovery.
