I have also been fascinated by these balls for some years now and looked at some in the Ashmolean museum in Oxford. I also went to Skara Brae and while there became convinced they were weapons. Think about it - a bare fist or a fist with one of these in - like a knuckle duster. They could have made the difference between living or not, to the owner, hence the elaborate decorations. The geometrical accuracy of the ones I saw in Oxford is incredible!
