NX45NE 13 4715 5915.
A short cist, found in 1906 while clearing away an embankment in the vicinity of a new house recently erected at Barholm Dairy, contained a food vessel which was broken during removal. (Barholm: NX 4715 5915). This may be the food vessel in the British Museum "from Kirkmabreck".
