Note: "Among number relics belonging to the Same period
the dentated bronze ring figured here, from the Original
in the Museum of the Scottish Antiquaries, is worthy of some
note from the rarity of Such Objects in Britain. It was discovered
near Merlsford, on the River Eden, Fifeshire, and
closely corresponds to another example found in Suffolk,
and figured in the Archaeological Journal, where it is
remarked that Objects of this kind are frequently met
with in Continental Collections, but have rarely ever been found in this country."
