Abstract


A note explaining how a cross-bow and arrows were unearthed. The arrows were later lost, but the author describes the situation of the finds and argues that the weapons were deposited after the burial of their owner in a cairn nearby. He notes that there are many cairns in this part of Aberdeenshire.
