Archaeology Notes

NN83NE 36 8953 3507

NN 8953 3507 In May 1995 part of a late Bronze Age hoard was discovered by chance in the upcast peat from a drainage ditch on Corrymuckloch Farm, near Amulree.

It comprised three socketed bronze axeheads, the tip of a bronze sword and a unique handled vessel of copper alloy. Subsequent fieldwork by Perth Museum and National Museums of Scotland recovered two further bronze sword fragments and, in the surrounding fields, a palimpset of features, including cairns, hut circles, cup-marked stones, long-houses, rig-and-furrow and Wade Road quarries. The hoard is currently with the NMS, pending a decision by the Treasure Trove Advisory Panel.
