Archaeology Notes

NJ26SE 56 27 63

See also NH52NW 7 and NJ26SE 55.

A flat bronze axe (Coles' type Ba) from Urquhart is in Elgin Museum (1875.4). Coles gives the provenance as 'probably Urquhart Castle'; perhaps Castle Hill, on which there is an earthwork (NJ26SE 5, at NJ 273 633) is intended.

J M Coles 1971; I C Walker 1974.
