Archaeology Notes

NS56NE 37 58 69.

Possil Marsh, with its strange wild life of all kinds, has long been a happy hunting ground of the Glasgow naturalists, and once saw the finding of a leather bag containing two hundred silver Roman coins (Eyre-Todd 1911).

'There seems to be no other record of this find if it ever existed.' (? Possil Marsh = Possil Loch Bird Sanctuary (NS 58 69))

A S Robertson 1963; G Eyre-Todd 1911.
