Description: | The collection includes stone tools and flints of prehistoric date and Bronze Age artefacts from Knackyboy. The Roman period is represented by the finds from the island of Nornour, where excavations revealed pottery and an important collection of bronze brooches and coins. There are Saxon finds from Tean and St Helens, including the relic of part of the Purbeck marble shrine of St Ilid. Medieval and later archaeological finds include those from excavations in the moat of Star Castle and pottery from elsewhere on the island. | Subjects: | Archaeology | Source: | Cornucopia - Discovering UK Collections | Address: | Church Street
