Excerpt from The Antiquary, Vol. 30: A Magazine Devoted to the Study of the Past; July-December, 1894 We mentioned some considerable time ago in our archaeological news the discovery by Mr. W. Potter, of Old Parks, Kirkoswald, Cumberland, of an incense cup in a large heap of stones which the County Council were carting from a field on his farm for road-making purposes. A second was found last autumn containing a few small beads which appear to be of cannel coal. Frag ments of large burial urns were also found, but in a very smashed and broken condition. Several slabs were found in the centre of the mound, once evidently part of a cist, having very curious markings incised upon them. These have been photographed, and will be reproduced in the local society's Transactions. A similar heap of stones exists in the next field, and waits explora tion. Old Parks farmhouse is believed to have been the residence of the keeper of the deer when Kirkoswald Castle was inhabited. Just above it is the site of one of the mediaeval beacons. A Silver penny of Edward I., and some pottery of various dates, Roman and Mediaval, were recently found in pulling down an old house in the village of kirkoswald[votes OF the month.
