Susan Kruse from ARCH notes that Inverness Museum has checked their accession records and found that this record and MHG4681 refer to the same find. <2>
Before revoking one of the records the references need to be checked. Between the HER records and the two records in Canmore three different page numbers are cited from Schmidt and Burgess 1981. <3>
This axehead was catalogued and photographed as part of the North Kessock& District Local History Society and Archaeology for Communities in the Highlands (ARCH) collaborative 'Feats of Clay' Project, which was focused on Bronze Age metalworking around the Moray Firth. It was catalogued as the same axehead as MHG4681, which was assigned an early Bronze Age date. <4>
