High Cocklaw stone boxes
The four probably Bronze Age stone boxes of High Cocklaw ( English High Cocklaw Cists ) were on the eponymous farm northwest of Berwick-upon-Tweed in Northumberland in England , near the border with Scotland . They have been removed and passed down mainly through their finds.
The stone boxes were plowed out. Two were found before 1878 and revealed fragments of an urn and pieces of charred bones. The third was found in 1878. Two millstones , one of which is in the Berwick Museum, and several axes have been found. The fourth case was found in 1900 and contained beads of a multi-row necklace ( English necklace ), two from flint and several of jet .
