Full Description

Two Late Bronze Age gold ribbon torcs purchased for the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland (NMAS) in 1903 and 1928, accession numbers FE 66 and FE 73. Writing in 1923, Callander lists only one from Cothill and 'two fragments of another in same parish'. Since FE73 acquired in 1928 is in two pieces it is presumably identical. No recent finds.
