Bronze Age Urn, Ochiltree
Ochiltree
A cinerary urn found in a mound in 1955 when excavating for
drains at a new housing scheme. The urn, which was found inverted
1.0m below the present surface, contained a large quantity of
calcined bones and rested on a clay 'floor' without a stone
slab.
Perhaps the mound contains further urns, and there is the
possibility that this may be a tumulus containing a central cist
and a number of secondary cremation burials.
