A (Romano-British) Collingwood Class R (ii) brooch with blue enamel inlay was found in river silt by the River Tay at Inchyra. The brooch has a central acanthus moulding, the head and lower bow being inlaid with blue enamel in triangular cells arranged in a geometric pattern. The top of the bow also bears two blue enamel trumpet scrolls of Celtic design. The pin is missing, but there is a loop on the head of the brooch for fastening a chain. It has been allocated to Perth Museum and Art Gallery as Treasure Trove under accession number PMAG 1992.600.
