There is documentation within the Inverness Museum archives regarding a number of post-medieval coins coming from the same location as the above 6 objects. There is a list of these coins and possibly a map of their findspots but is unclear whether they were in the possesion of the museum or submitted to Treasure Trove. <4>
A four figure grid reference had been given at the SE corner of Loch Assynt. This is general and indicative of Loch Assynt only. GW 25/05/20
