General notes:
The monument is the gravestone for Thomas and Robert Lockhart, who were killed just outside the village in the 1680s. Part of the inscription reads: "These men did search through moorland moss To find out all that had no pass These faithful witnesses were found And murdered upon the ground Their blood for vengence yet doth cry This may a standing witness be For Presbytery gainst Prelacy."
