Bronze Celt found here Bronze Celt found here Mr James Clark (Merchant Stonehaven) 017.06 When the ground at this place was drained in 1850. There was found at the place as marked on trace what the finder Mr Clark calls a bronze Battle Axe which was in a good state of preservation and weighed about four pounds Mr Clark sent it to the Museum in Montrose where it can be seen. From the description given by Mr Clark, this article appears to be a Celt of the early Bronze period. There is no hole for the Shaft or handle, the Celt being in the shape of a large wedge, with a groove near the pummel for the handle to be fixed on the outside. The rough sketches shewn are as near as the finder can remember.
