NS 097 550 A cannel coal or lignite disc with an engraved design on both surfaces was found casually in the plantation on Suidhe Hill. Such engraved pieces are unusual, and it may have been intended as a playing piece, most likely of late prehistoric or Early Historic date. Claimed as Treasure Trove (TT 43/99) and allocated to Bute Museum.
