“The ornaments consist of a hollow collar . . . a model boat with thwarts, and a number of oars, spars, and a bowl with four small rings at the edges, a solid gold torque, one half of a similar torque, a necklace consisting of three plaited chains with fastening, and a single chain.”

The hoard of treasure was discovered in a field in the townland of Broighter by two ploughmen, Thomas Nicholl and James Morrow, in February 1896.

It was sold to the British Museum for £600, but would eventually be returned to Ireland in 1903 after lengthy court case brought forward by the Royal Irish Academy.

The treasure can be found on display in the National Museum of Ireland in Dublin.
