A Middle Bronze Age palstave, found near Dalmore Rock (Creag na Dalach: NC709030) in 1867 'during railway works' (Info from TS Catalogue of Dunrobin Museum by A S Henshall), was lent by Duke of Sutherland to Glasgow Exhibition of 1911. It is in museum of Dunrobin Caslte (Acc No: 1867.2).
(It is not certain that these reports refer to OS published site, but it seems likely, especially as original entry in ONB appears to have applied date of discovery only to NC70SW12, the entry for this site being added later and erroneously).
