11 Claimed as Treasure Trove and allocated to Shetland Museum. Length 46 mm.
12 Other stray finds of Roman items allocated through Treasure Trove in 2023 were a headstud brooch fragment from near Liff, Angus, with trumpet motifs surrounding the headstud (D. Mackreth, Brooches in late Iron Age and Roman Britain (2011), 107 type 5b), a Polden Hill brooch found near Kincaple, Fife (ibid., 72 type CD PH 4a), another from Ayton, Scottish Borders (ibid., same type), a fragmentary enamelled headstud brooch from Currochs, Perth & Kinross (ibid,, 106 type 3a), and a Roman or early Medieval polyhedral-headed pin from Kinnaber, Angus. A kräftig-profilierte brooch said to have been found in the vicinity of Invergowrie (Perth and Kinross) is an unusual find for Scotland, and in the absence of supporting detail on the findspot it is not certainly an ancient loss. For details of all, see Discovery and Excavation in Scotland 2023.
