- (continued from previous page)Seskin School are sitting in the same desks that their grand-fathers and great grand-fathers and grand-mothers sat in, in the old school in Brittas.
- About a few years ago a man whose farm is about 600 feet above the sea level, raised up a large stone that lay just below the surface. This stone covered a grave which contained a crock and some bones. A portion of the vessel was broken.
His father, some 40 years before, had uncovered a grave in the same field. The place was visited and three cists were excavated. - Collector
