NN75NE 6 c. 762 591
An early 5th century (E Fowler 1963) hoard was found in the 1880's at Tummel Bridge (NN 762 591) under the root of a tree that had been blown down. It comprised 3 silver penannular brooches of similar form but with minor variations, fragments of the upper edge and bottom of a bronze vessel or hanging bowl of the type Rygh 725-26, and two very small pieces of the upper edge of a bronze vessel of the same form. In addition, there were two small portions of bronze edge-mounting, probably from the mouth of a drinking horn or horns. The finds are in the NMAS (Accession Nos. FC 162-70).
