1,000-year-old Pictish ring discovered by amateur archaeologist at Burghead Fort in Moray, Scotland.
A 1,000-year-old Pictish ring was recently discovered by amateur archaeologist John Ralph during a dig at Burghead Fort in Moray, Scotland. The kite-shaped ring, featuring a garnet center, was found on the final day of the excavation. This find challenges previous assumptions that the site's historical value was lost due to 19th-century construction. The ring is now with the National Museum of Scotland for analysis, shedding light on Pictish society.
