(Area 664456) In 1824, a mid-14th c. hoard containing upwards of 3000 silver pennies, was found at a depth of about 12" close by Greyfriars (Blackfriars) churchyard, Inverness.
Many were English - Henry III., Edwards II and III., and the remainder Scottish, chiefly Alexander III., Robert I and David II. The earthern jar containing the hoard was broken at the time of finding and some of the coins lost.
