Description


Stirling torcs

The Stirling torcs make up a hoard of four gold Iron Age torcs, a type of necklace, all of which date to between 300 and 100 BC and which were buried deliberately at some point in antiquity. They were found by a metal detectorist in a field near Blair Drummond, Stirlingshire, Scotland on 28 September 2009.[2][3] The hoard has been described as the most significant discovery of Iron Age metalwork in Scotland and is said to be of international significance.[4] The torcs were valued at £462,000, and after a public appeal were acquired for the National Museums of Scotland in March 2011.
