The artefacts comprise two bronze socketed axeheads, a spearhead, a gouge, a hammer, three razors, as well as fragments of decorated bronze vessel, two whetstones and beads of glass, amber and gold.^[1][2]

The hoard was discovered in peat, at a depth of 9 to 10 feet (2.7 to 3.0 m), by Donald Murray in May 1910, while cutting peat for fuel.^[3][4] The hoard was excavated by the finder, who described the artefacts as being 'all in one group, the smaller things above and the heavier below'.^[3]

The hoard was acquired shortly after discovery by the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland (now National Museums Scotland) and is accessioned as X.DQ 211-227.^{[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]}
