NC70SW 38 c. 73 03.
An axe of dark grey speckled stone (probably from Tievebulliagh), measuring 4.3ins long by 2.3ins maximum width is in Dunrobin Museum, probably received in 1897. (Accession no. 1897.1).
It is described as coming from 'Cnoc ri Shaimbnaig (Bonefire Knoll) Rogart'. This name has not been identified, the only remote resemblance being in Reidchalmai (NC 727 034) and Reidh Chalmai (NH 746997), which means 'Field of the Heroes', not 'Bonefire Knoll'.
Information from TS of Catalogue of Dunrobin Museum by A S Henshall, 1966.
