Abstract
In May 1995, several items of Late Bronze Age metalwork were discovered by chance in the upcast peat from a drainage ditch at Corrymuckloch Farm, near Amulree, Perthshire. Almost certainly a disturbed hoard, the group comprises three socketed axeheads, portions of the blade of a leaf-shaped sword and an apparently unique handled vessel. Investigation of the find-spot revealed no further archaeological deposits, but fieldwalking of the surrounding area of upland resulted in the discovery of a number of previously unrecorded monuments.
