Archaeology Notes

NH95NW 71 92 56

Fragmentary Roman sheet and cast bronze dipper found while metal detecting around Auldearn. Subsequent excavation in the area of the findspot by Fraser Hunter (NMS) uncovered features that may indicate a possible site, including the floor of a house. This potential site may be similar to Birnie, near Elgin, currently being excavated.

Declared Treasure Trove (TT 80/03) and allocated to Inverness Museum.

A Heald 2004.
