NC 9199 6426. Part of a Middle Bronze Age basal looped spearhead (Coles class E) was found by John Jefferies, Bridgend, Reay, in January 1975 in a dried peat which has been taken from a bed only about 40cms. deep in an area of open peat and heather-hill land. The broken socket was successfully extracted but part of the paper-thin blade was lost in the process.
The spearhead was presented to Thurso museum.
