Norrie's Law hoard

The silver hoard from Norrie 's Law was found in a Bronze Age grave mound on the Balman farm, one mile north of Largo Law, in the county of Fife on the north bank of the Firth of Forth in Scotland. Near the caves of East Wemyss lie.

A legend says that the hill has to do with the funeral of the Danish warrior Norroway in a silver armor.

In the 1830s Lady Durham donated several valuable pieces of silver, the Scottish Museum of Antiquities. These are large ring brooches, two leaf - and diamond-shaped panels, a large silver plate, a bowl, finger rings and a variety of bracelet pieces. The two panels and one of the buttons wear distinctive symbols such as double disc and Z - rod and a deer (possibly dog). This is one of the few examples of the use of symbols on a different carrier material as Stone ( Pictish symbol stone).

The Pictish silver objects and some late Roman elements were found at about 1819 sand mining. Most parts of the estimated 12.5 kg hoard, including a number of silver coins have been sold to a local goldsmith and melted down. Only a few pieces have survived. The dating was carried out in the 7th century.
