Arthurhouse, a farm in Garvock parish, Kincardineshire. About one-fourth of a cairn is on it, some 20 feet in diameter, recently enclosed within a planted tract of fully half an acre. The other three-fourths of the cairn were removed about 1830 for conversion into road metal, and were then found to conceal a megalithic stone circle, and to cover an ancient sarcophagus; among the stones of them, near the outskirts, were found two coins of respectively Alexander I. and Robert Bruce, and about twenty other coins, seemingly of silver, but so greatly corroded as to be undecipherable.
