Part of a stone ball from Glenfarquhar, near Auchinblae (Mains of Glenfarquhar: NO 719 805) was donated to the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland (NMAS) by Mr J Mill in 1875 (Accession no: AS 18). It was originally 2 5/8 ins in diameter and ornamented with six not very prominent knobs. A large part of it was broken by the finders.
