The 8th or 9th Century piece of jewellery, reckoned to be silver, has caused excitement in archaeological circles, with the find considered to be of national importance.
It has been handed over to Scotland’s Treasure Trove Unit and is expected to eventually go on display in a museum.
The finder, whose identity is unknown, is eligible for a reward.
