Whilst the farm yard at Clibberswick (HP 64 12) was being dug up in 1863 a woman's grave of the Viking period was found. The finds consisted of two 9th century tortoise brooches, a bronze trefoil brooch, a silver armlet and two glass beads. The armlet and beads have disappeared but the remainder of the finds are now in the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland (NMAS).
