Details	An Iron Age hoard was found in this area under a large stone 'while trenching some woodland' on the site of Bruce's camp. The hoard was divided between the British Museum and Aberdeen University Archaeology Museum. A bronze terret, a bronze ferrule for the butt of a spear-shaft and pin-heads of shale were found. The pin-heads are spherical with bottoms flattened and pierced to receive iron pins, of which some remains survive.
