Two cists were found on Abbey Farm (name NT 5470 8502 on OS 6" 1908) in 1848 when constructing the railway line. Each contained an inhumation accompanied by a green-glazed urn of rough grey ware; one, which survived, was 6 ins in height. One cist also contained a much corroded iron sword and dagger; the skull from this cist was donated to the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland [NMAS] by Wilson (Accession no: ET 18).
