Full Description
A number of Bronze Age burials were exposed on the lands of Fernybrae farm (presumably in the 19th Century) and destroyed without record. Callander believed there to be 15 fragments of at least four different urns, three of cinerary type. The tenant had no knowledge of finds. Only one sherd appears to survive in NMAS, a Neolithic sherd of a hemispherical bowl of fairly hard grey ware with three rows of fingernail impressions below rim, diameter circa 178 mm (see NJ72NW0229).
