A top-notch IOTD post, Bruce.
It should come as no surprise that for 4000 years Scotsmen have Pict their noses and played with their balls.
There is alot online about these artifacts, with their intended function always in question and their beauty not.
They may not have been for throwing, but the fact that they are almost exactly the same size as a baseball is interesting.
About half are very close to identical size and often in areas where monoliths have been transported. Ball bearings?
Their possible use as gaming pieces or money can't be discounted.
I think I will spend some more time reading about them.
