A ring or ring pendant of jet, found during drainage operations at Meams Farm in 1966. The object is 2.54cm externally in diameter and of varying thickness. At the thickest point are two V-shaped perforations, bored parallel to the faces. A third hole is bored vertically to the meeting point of the two converging holes. The object is decorated with a line around the outer face with incised lines running at right angles to the centre. There are two further lines around the outside edges, again with incised lines running at right angles. The ring was in the vicinity of two 'stone circles', an artificial mound and what appears to be a hut circle. The findspot was indicated on the map by the farmer at Meams. The two 'stone circles are the ring cairns on Meams Hill (NO35NE0024). No trace was seen on the ground of either an artificial mound or a hut circle by the OS when visiting the site in 1977. The jet ring object is in the Meffan Museum, Forfar.
