A stone macehead from the Culbin Sands is recorded as a 'perforated hammer stone' in the collection of Rev J MacEwen of Dyke in 1896 (now lost - the collection was sold in 1919). Part of a second macehead (noted as a battle-axe by Roe), also from the Culbin Sands is in the Hunterian Museum, Glasgow (B.1951.2121). (The precise find-spots are not recorded; the sands cover a large area westwards along the coast from Findhorn Bay.)
