A bronze spearhead was found near Talladale, on the south side of Loch Maree, near where the present hotel stands. It is of the ordinary type, 5 1/4 inches long, socket 1 1/2 inch, blade 3 3/4 inches long, 1 1/2 inch wide at widest part, which is within 1/2 an inch of the base. The socket has two rivet holes broken.
