Notice of the Discovery of Eight Silver Rings or Ancient Wrist or Ankle Rings, in Cists near Rattar, Dunnet, Caithness

An idea of the form of these rings may be conveyed by supposing a square bar of silver, about \ inch on the side, cut in lengths of 7-J inches, and weighing about two ounces, to be bent, not on the flat, but on the angle, till the two extremities, which are a little flattened and rounded, approach within little more than an inch of each other. They are nearly the same size, weight, and shape, and they have no ornamental markings. One of them is shown, of the full size, in the accompanying woodcut
