A cinerary urn from Sandmill Farm, Stranraer, Wigtownshire
The urn was discovered during ploughing. There was no trace of a cist or a cairn. The grave-goods consisted of a battle-axe, a bronze knife or razor, an ornamented bone bead, and three shaped stones. Two or three worked flints were discovered at the first excavation of the site, but there is no certainty that they had actually been in the urn
A Bronze Bowl from the Rhinns of Galloway
The bowl was found inverted in the soil while ploughing. It is a simple bowl of hammered bronze, made from a single sheet of metal without ornamentation. The most distinctive feature of the Awhirk bowl is a small circular perforation surrounded by a finely incised circle in the centre of the rounded base. The bowl is thought to be a clepsydra, or water-clock; and as such is in a separate category from the other cauldrons in Scotland, which in all…
Crosses from the Rhinns of Galloway
Sculptured stones of Old Luce Church, Wigtownshire
Miscellaneous Relics found in Wigtownshire
Artefacts included stone and flint axes, flint arrowheads, a bronze socketed axe, a glass bead, jet pendants, a clay mould, a coin, a medieval carved headstone and a carved stone depicting a coat-of-arms
Crosses and Rock Sculptures recently discovered in Wigtownshire
Two carved slabs built into farm buildings at Boghouse were removed and taken to Whithorn Museum. Both had incised crosses and a variety of other symbols. A cup-and-ring marked outcrop was discovered at Drummoral while a second at Knock, Glasserton had a series of carved spirals
Three Crosses in the South-west of Scotland
An account of three fragmented cross slabs all thought to be of 10th-century date from Carleton, Glasserton and Fardenreoch. The Carleton slab has a cross decoration similar in form to an example from St Ninian's Cave. The cross-head at Glasserton is of the Whithorn type while the Fardenreoch example has a rope, plait and twist ornament uncommon in Scotland
Two Unrecorded Crosses in Wigtownshire
A small incised cross in a circle was discovered close to the four already known at St Ninian's Cave. At Barmore a fragment of a cross-slab is set into a modern drystone shrine. It has a large central cross with a smaller cross in each angle. Each of the smaller crosses is enclosed by brackets
Two Celtic Crosses from The Machars, Wigtownshire
Notes on the Discovery of a Rock-Sculpture at Gallows Outon, Whithorn, Wigtownshire
The carving consists of a returning spiral and can be paralleled by a stone at North Balfern, near Kirkinner
Notes on the Discovery of a Cist at Stairhaven, Wigtownshire
A feature thought to be a hut circle proved to be a dilapidated cairn. A short cist was located just off centre. It contained a Food Vessel, a deposit of cremated human bone, three quartz pebbles and a flint scraper. The remains were identified as an adult of uncertain sex
Account of the Exploration of a Cairn at Craigbirnoch, New Luce, Wigtownshire
The cairn is one of a pair and both are much dilapidated. A central cist contained cremated human bone, oak charcoal and a Food Vessel. The age and sex of the human remains could not be determined
