Late Bronze Age, gold collar and four penannular bracelets
European Museums, The British MuseumMooghaun North hoard
County Clare (Republic of Ireland),
about 1100-750 B.C.
These gold objects come from a vast hoard found in a stone cavity in 1854 while workmen were building a railway. Gold ornaments like these were possibly worn and then used as an offering, as they were deposited in pits, apparently without any intention of retrieval.
Gold collar and four pennanular bracelets, Late Bronze Age, found at Mooghaun North, Clare, Irelend. Purchased from William Willoughby Cole, Third Earl of Eniskillen.
