Context:
Found in a small stone cist in a partially destroyed mound around 1887, at Reheia on Karmøy. The mound was small and was located south of the easternmost mound. The cist measured approx. 0.5 cm and was rectangular; it was built from slabs and had a bottom slab and a covering slab. A clay urn with cremated bones was found in the eastern part of the cist. There is no information on the position of the arm ring. Two other small metal objects were found, but were never documented or submitted to the museum, so there is no information about which objects they were. The bracelet was broken into three pieces by the finder, only two parts have survived. There is no information about what happened to the urn and bones.
