Full Description
Iron Age fastener and blue glass bead found during metal detecting near Dores. A variety of fasteners were used in the Iron Age and this one, roughly rectangular in shape, is slightly unusual. Analysis of the bead suggests that is it made of leaded glass, and the colour is due to small amounts of copper in the composition. Declared Treasure Trove (TT 26/03) and allocated to Inverness Museum.
