Find from Glentraugh
Archaeology
The findspot of a probable Bronze Age or Iron Age gold penannular ring, which is now lost. Oswald's full size drawing of a plain gold 'ear ring' found in 1860 at Glengrenaugh in Grenaugh valley on Kentraa farm was thought to represent a Viking Age gold finger ring.
It was a pear-shaped penannular ring with pointed terminals, without parallel among Viking Age gold and silver ornaments, the closest known parallells are of the Bronze Age or of earliest Iron Age.
