Abstract
  • In May 1995, the tenants of Corrymuckloch Farm, near Amulree, made a remarkable discovery (PKHER: MPK9219). Walking across rough pasture to the north of the farm whilst looking for stones for a rockery, they spotted what was at first taken to be a helmet in an area of boggy ground. This later transpired to be a unique decorated vessel. Next to this was the tip of a bronze sword, and about a metre away were three bronze socketed axeheads. The tenants took these finds to Perth and Museum and Art Gallery where the significance of their discovery was recognised: they were of Late Bronze Age date (c.950-800 BC) and together, they indicated a hoard.
