2. Initially it was reported that there were "significant quantities" of later third- and fourth-century pottery, but more recent appraisals indicate that there are only a few pieces of later third-century material and that none of the pottery from the site can be dated to the fourth century (pers. comm., Nicholas Holmes 1998).
3. More recent coin lists (Bateson and Holmes 1997) do not add anything to this picture.
4. After the completion of this article, I became aware of a recent work by Lloyd Laing (1999) challenging the dating of the mount from Cramond. Laing argues that the use of millefiori is rare in post-Roman Scotland and suggests that the object is actually of Roman origin. Laing's arguments for attributing the object to the Roman period appear unconvincing, and the object is probably of eighth- or ninth-century date as suggested by Bourke and Close Brooks. His points concerning the general rarity of millefiori in post-Roman Scotland appear valid and it is quite plausible that the object is actually of Irish or Dalriadic Scots origin, especially given the possible presence of Scottish kings at Cramond if the identification of Rathinveramon proposed in this article is correct.
