Full Description
There is a hinged brooch 3 inches in length, the bow formed by a flat piece of bronze with a knob at the foot, in the National Museum of Antiquities in Edinburgh, which was found at Dores.
The brooch has a well-defined catch-plate: it belongs to the class of the Aucissa brooches and is typologically one of the earliest Roman brooches found in Scotland. It was presented by James Smith, jnr., of Erchite Wood, Dores, in 1897.
