A semi-solid, tripartite disc wheel, which may date anywhere from c.1300 BC to 100 AD or later, was found 10ft below the surface of Blair Drummond Moss at Roseburn Lane about 1830. The only one of its kind yet recorded in the British Isles, it is now in the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland (NMAS Accession no. LN43). Several arrowheads were also found nearby.
