[1] Lochar Moss, located on the Solway Firth in southwest Scotland, was one of the largest raised peat lands in Europe until much of it was destroyed and reclaimed for agricultural and urban uses in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

[2] The Lochar Moss Torc was found inside a small bronze bowl, which helped to preserve it relatively intact.

The collar is made of brass and is cast in two pieces: a solid crescent-shaped bar with engraved La Tène patterns and a series of hollow beads, one of which is missing.

Although it was without doubt a prestigious item of jewellery that was cherished by the local community, it remains unclear who it originally belonged to and how the collar would have been worn by the wearer.

The design of this type of neck-ring is unique to northern Britain during the early stages of the Roman colonisation of the province of Britannia.
