#OTD in 1980 – The Derrynaflan Chalice and other ancient silver and bronze pre-Christian antiquities are discovered in Co Tipperary.

The Derrynaflan Chalice is part of a hoard of altar vessels found in 1980 on a monastic site at Derrynaflan, a small island of mineral soil in Killeens bog in Tipperary. An excavation undertaken by staff of the National Museum recovered some missing components of the decorated objects, such as gold filigree panels, die-stamped mounts and rivets. The silver chalice is comparable to the Ardagh…

OLD CROGHAN MAN

OLD CROGHAN MAN

Bog body discovered in Ireland in 2003

The Old Croghan Man is a preserved torso and arms of an Irish Iron Age body which was found in June 2003. The remains were found in Croghan Hill, north of Daingean, County Offaly.

In his own life time he would have been 1.96 metres tall; his nails were well-kept and was in good health at the time of his death. He lived around 362-175 BCE. He was killed by a knife in the chest. A cut on his upper arm shows he faced his killer and tried to deflect the strike. After death, he was decapitated and his body was sawn in half.

Today the body is on display at the National Museum of Ireland in Dublin.

I also visited the national history museum of Ireland in Dublin. The building is beautiful and there are so many beautiful archeological finds. I do hope that they will update the building and the exhibitions. Some felt a bit outdated, especially the Viking age one. There was still a sign that something was moved in 2014 and it wasn't back yet. I did enjoy the Viking age finds.

Clonmacnoise Monastery – Cluain Mhic Nóis | 'Meadow of the Sons of Nós'

This monastery is situated on the banks of the Shannon, it was founded in 544 AD by St Ciarán on a fertile meadow, or cluain, surrounded by bog. It could be reached only by river or along esker ridge known as the pilgrim’s road. The monastery flourished for 600 years as a centre of learning and religious instruction. It also supplied much of Ireland’s finest Celtic art and illuminated manuscripts…
