The accession number of one of the polished stone axes from Fullerton in Inverurie Museum is PEHMS: I 1048. The collection of Inverurie Museum has been re-catalogued, but the new catalogue is incomplete and there is no easy system of identifying the new accession numbers of the other axes from Fullerton.
