| I'll repeat some of the stuff I put on the Misc post under Aberdeenshire as here would probably have been a better place to post it given the points now being raised. 411 known examples at the last count. Vast majority 7cm diameter. 12 at 9-11 cm and some oval ones. Stone used varies considerably - sandstone, quartzite, gneiss, ... Distribution - largely Aberdeenshire, Grampians. Also other parts of Scotland. Five found outside Scotland. Context/Date - Skara Brae finds are late Neolithic. Reports of some finds in Bronze Age contexts but none from recent well-documented excavations. Reply | with quote |  26th May 2004ce 20:37 In reply to: Carved stone balls - Photos - Eds?
