NN70SW 20 741 030. (Area: NN 740 029) A perforated axe-head made from a pebble of dolerite was found in February, 1894 on the surface of a steeply sloping field called Glassdhu, about a quarter of a mile south-east of Argaty House, on the farm of Glenwhilk. The implement is 5 3/4 ins long by 3 1/2 ins wide, hour-glass perforated and sharpened at both ends (but crudely and possibly secondarily). It was in the possession of the farmer, Mr McLaren. Later, a spindle whorl 1 3/4 ins - 2 1/8 ins in diameter was found in the same field and should be in the Smith Institute collection. An implement of schist, 3 1/4 ins by 3 ins and partially bored from both sides was also found in the field. D B Morris 1894; 1901. From enquiries at Glenwhilk farm and ground inspection, it is probable that these finds were made in the area between the Argaty Burn and the Drum wood, i.e. between NN 7400 0330 and NN 7425 0285, where the field called 'Glassdhu' is at its steepest. The whereabouts of the pebble axehead is not known but the spindle whorl is in the Smith Institute Museum - no Acc. No. The implement of schist, believed to be a hammer, is also in the Museum, (Acc. No: A1854). (Information from Mr Thomson, Curator, Smith Institute, Stirling). Visited by OS (WDJ) 22 October 1968.
