RCAHMS Canmore description:
NM 7896 6172 – Off-white flint scraper with retouch.
NM 7897 6176 – Several pieces of slag, indicating a bloomery site. Many of the local bloomerys consist of a slight scatter of slag only, and it is assumed that most of the slag was recycled as a flux in the Strontian lead smelter, or in the Bonawe Iron Furnace.
