Metal Detector Find (2013)
NH 70 43 The blade portion of a Late Bronze Age socketed axehead was found during metal detecting near Inverness. Its incompleteness precludes detailed classification and it is only possible to assign an all-embracing date range of c1150–700 BC, during which bronze socketed axes were current.
Claimed as Treasure Trove (TT 132/12), allocated to Inverness Museum and Art Gallery
