Ecclesiastical antiquities. In 1843 a Celtic hand bell with detached tongue, a bronze bowl (of which there are varying descriptions, but it may have been a chalice) and a broken glass bowl were dug up in Kingoldrum churchyard. The bell is of the usual square form, made of sheet iron, coated with bronze, though little bronze remains. It measures 20.3cm by 17.8cm at the mouth, and stands 23cm high, exclusive of the handle. It was donated to the NMAS in 1851. The other articles were lost. The glass bowl, however, was described by the Rev Mr Haldane as 'having upright sides like a tumbler and slightly rounded at the bottom, and a low circular footstand' and has been identified by Curle an object of Roman and provincial Roman origin, and Robertson further suggested a 3rd-4th century AD date for it.
