(Name cited as Trancie Hill).
NMRS, MS/712/46.
Two stone axes and three stone lamps from Towie were noted by the Ordnance Survey in 1969 in a display in Aberdeen Regional Museum. They formed part of a temporary exhibition between the 1930s and 1970s. This drew on the collections of several museums, including Aberdeen City Museum and Art Gallery, Marischal Museum, and Inverurie Museum. Unfortunately the Ordnance Survey did not note any of the accession numbers and it has not proved possible to identify where the artefacts are now housed.
