The hair or ear ring found at Kirhaugh, is almost identical to a pair found at Boltby Scar also. They are thought to have originated in Ireland. Comments (0)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink

There are three cairns at this site, and at least one of them is known to have contained a burial. The Kirkhaugh "ear ornament" (looks more like a dreadlock ring to me!), identical to that which was found buried with the famous "Amesbury Archer", was discovered in this burial and is some of the earliest gold sheetwork known in Britain.
