Archaeology Notes

NX74NW 19 c. 708 477. A greenstone axe, measuring 9" by 3 1/2", from N Milton (NX 708 477) is in Kirkcudbright Museum. J M Corrie 1930 An axe-hammer from N Milton is in Kirkcudbright Museum (Acc. No. 2683). F E S Roe 1967 From the dimensions of Acc. No 2683 it would appear that both authorities are referring to the same implement. No further information. Visited by OS (RD) 18 January 1971. This Class I axe-hammer has been petrologically described as 'near' to group XXVII (greywacke from the Southern uplands of Scotland). T H McK Clough and W A Cummins 1988.
