This name applies to a small portion of a field on Harburn Estate traditionally said to mar[k] the spot where Oliver Cromwe[ll] planted his colours while res[ting?] in his victorious career throug[h] Scotland. As it is so rem[otely?] situated, the tradition is a[lmost?] lost, and the name is on[ly] retained as applying to a portion of the field west of the plantati[on.] A short distance south of th[is?] plantation, about 45 years ago [10 erased?]12[?] stone coffins were disco[vered] and about 5 years ago three were excavated. It is suppos[ed] they were deposited there by [the] Romans, during the time they o[ccupied?] the camp a mile southward |

A second hand has written across the first five columns below Cromwell's Wit:
'On the west part of Hayfield estate there was a few years ago, the remains of an old camp known by the name of Cromwell-wit. This is now converted into a cornfield and it remains altogether uncertain whether the name was given as a mark of Cromwell's understanding in the choice of the situation or as a proof of his folly; although the last appears more probable' Sinclair's Stat.

Again the binding obscures some of the right hand side which has had to be reconstructed at times.
The number of stone coffins should probably read 12 rather than what appears to be 2, as 3 were later excavated. Page 109 later confirms this.
'Site of Camp' appears in brackets beneath Cromwell's Wit in the Orthography column and nowhere else. |

The text continues directly:
From the stone being so remotely situated the tradition is almost lost and the name is only retained as applying to the Ploughed field to the west of the plantation The stone is a natural Boulder containing about eight cubic feet, in shape somewhat ovalar [sic] and apparently [sic] about equal parts above and under Ground. About 15 Chains South of this stone about a dozen stone Coffins were discovered 45 zears [sic] ago and three more about 5 zears [sic] ago [continued on next page] |

[continued .] They [the stone coffins] were all arranged East and West and composed of seven or eight Stones roughly dressed with the hammer And were formed by placing two Stones on Edge for each Side of the Grave one at each end And one or two for the lid Mr Cochrane thinks it probable that they were placed there by the Romans when occupying the camp about a mile South of the Graves |
