Kippen, Castlehill of Dasher

Cinerary Urn (bronze Age)

What is recorded here

Kippen, Castlehill of Dasher holds a Bronze Age cinerary urn, a small vessel that carried death into soil long before written memory. The hill may have watched herds, storms and passing feet while the urn waited beneath grass. Someone placed ash inside, perhaps with ribbon, honey or a final song, then hid the jar from rain and forgetting.
