A late Bronze Age overhanging-rim urn, inverted over calcined human bones was found on Easter Gellybank farm by Mr David Kennedy on 10th November, 1885. It was in a slight eminence probably reduced by ploughing near the fence in a field to the south of the road from Kinross to Cleish. Fragments of similar pottery had been previously turned up nearby. The urn was presented to the National Museum of Antiquities.
