For nearby trial excavation and watching brief (March 2003), see NH64SE 354.
(NH 685 420) In 1824, a Late Bronze Age gold torc (J M Coles 1962) was ploughed up in a field next to the chambered cairn at Leys (NH64SE 23) (J Fraser 1884). It was purchased at the time by a jeweller (J Barron 1903), but has since been lost, although a leaden model was lent to the Arch. Inst. Exhibition in Edinburgh, 1856, by the Inverness Museum.
