Coles, noting this spearhead as from near Warrior's Grave, Southfield (NT40NE 4, at NT 479 090) classifies it as Late Bronze Age, Class V in 1959. However, he re-classified that material as Middle Bronze Age in 1963, but this spearhead is omitted from his later list.

This spearhead is not on display in the museum and is uncatalogued. However, Dr M Robson (Hawick Museum) believes that it is still in the museum's possession.
