Details A piece of 'ring money' recovered from the vicinity of Coire Na Fuaraig was acquired by the celebrated antiquarian Rev. W. G. Greenwell at some time during the nineteenth century. Before his death in 1918, Greenwell gifted his collection to the British Museum, where this object is now held. Ring money is the name given to a small object shaped like an incomplete ring, whose function is now thought to be ornamental. They are thought to date to the Late Bronze Age. This example measures less than 30 mm in diameter. It was found buried beneath circa 1.2 m of peat.
