Two Irish Bronze-Age Finds containing rings
Both finds belong to the latest portion of the Irish Bronze Age, Montelius's fifth period (1150-800 B.C.). The first was recently acquired by the Royal Irish Academy. The circumstances of its discovery are obscure; no more definite information being obtainable than that the objects were dug up near an old ruined castle in co. Westmeath about the month of January, 1922. It includes a bronze socketed celt, and twenty-four complete and one imperfect…

V.— Irish Bronze Pins of the Christian Period
A classification of the numerous bronze pins found in Ireland is to be desired. Wilde, who figured over thirty specimens of various kinds, made no separation between Bronze and Early Iron Age pins and those of the Christian period. Coffey devoted some pages to pins, reproducing a number of Wilde's illustrations; he did not, however, attempt any classification, merely stating that, with the exception of the ‘hand-type’ and other pins of that class…
Some Irish Antiquities of Unknown Use
In Sir William Wilde's Catalogue of Bronze Antiquities is described and illustrated under the heading of chariot furniture an iron-backed bronze disc, 33⁄4 in. in diameter, coated with white metal, projecting from which is a bronze stud in the form of a dog's head, 11⁄2 in. long, with a human head engraved on its muzzle. The stud is threaded by a bronze chain made up of two rings and double loops (fig. 1, 1). Wilde considered this object was inte…

Lord Emly's Shrine; two ridge-poles of Shrines, and two bronze castings
Sir Martin Conway's paper on portable reliquaries, tracing the origin of the familiar gabled type, includes a list of the Irish specimens; to this list it is possible to add another, which has twice been mentioned, but I believe neither described nor illustrated. Its existence is not generally known, for it was not alluded to by either Coffey or Romilly Allen in their works on Celtic Art. This reliquary was formerly deposited with the Royal Irish…
Note on the Hallstatt Period in Ireland
On page 86 of the 2nd edition (1912) of the late J. R. Allen's Celtic Art is the statement, ‘Of the smaller Hallstatt sword with an iron blade and a bronze handle, having antennae-like projections at the top, one specimen from the Thames is to be seen in the British Museum, and there are about half a dozen others in the Museum of the Royal Irish Academy in Dublin.’ Déchelette ( Manuel , ii, 2nd part, page 737 and note 3) repeated this on Allen's …

An imperfect Irish shrine recently purchased by the Royal Irish Academy
The Royal Irish Academy recently purchased from Mr. H. Naylor, a Dublin dealer, a portion of an Irish shrine together with two fragments supposed to have belonged to it. These had been obtained at the sale held at Killua, co. Westmeath, early in June 1920, having formed part of a large number of Irish antiquities collected by Sir Benjamin Chapman, fourth baronet
An Irish Bronze Casting formerly preserved at Killua Castle, co. Westmeath
The bronze casting (fig. 1) was recently purchased by the Royal Irish Academy. It was one of the antiquities preserved at Killua Castle, co. Westmeath, but its previous history is unknown. The length of the casting is 4·4 in.: the raised box-shaped portion is 2·4 in. in breadth, while the flat portion measures at its widest part 1·5 in. Possibly it was the limb of a cruciform mounting for a book-cover. Its ornamentation is admirable

Archaeological Notes from Ireland 1909—1910

Cavan.This has been added to the Royal Irish Academy's collection in the National Museum, making the total number of these objects in the collection no less than 37.It may perhaps be of in…
