Abri by Crinan Ferry
The Abri Crinan Ferry is located in the valley of Kilmartin in Argyll and Bute in Scotland .
There are three ledges to the northeast of Crinan Ferry, west of Dunadd . In one of them, in 1880, JR Mapleton examined the remains of a recently disturbed stone chest . The panels of the box were shifted. Around them Mapleton found human bones, the bones and teeth of a pig, two pieces of flint , one of which had been worked, and other things he called rubbish.
Of the broken pieces, 24 belonged to two urns . The larger urn was very thick and rough. The other had lines created by the impression of a string. The human bones seemed to belong to two people. Another excavation was undertaken in 1959 and further fragments of bones and the shard of a stringed drinking cup were recovered. You are now in the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum .
Nearby are the Crinan Moss Cairn and the menhirs in the Crinan Moss.
