An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Coggalbeg hoard is an Early Bronze Age hoard of three pieces of Irish gold jewellery dating to 2300–2000 BC. It is now in the National Museum of Ireland – Archaeology in Dublin, where it is normally on display. It was found in a bog at Coggalbeg, Roscommon in 1945, and consists of a gold lunula (a crescent shaped "little moon") and two small gold discs, of a type known from other examples, decorated with a cross motif within two circles. The pieces are flat and thin, and collectively weigh under 78 grams (2.8 oz), indicating that they were probably intended as part of a necklace.

  • The Coggalbeg hoard is an Early Bronze Age hoard of three pieces of Irish gold jewellery dating to 2300–2000 BC. It is now in the National Museum of Ireland – Archaeology in Dublin, where it is normally on display. It was found in a bog at Coggalbeg, Roscommon in 1945, and consists of a gold lunula (a crescent shaped "little moon") and two small gold discs, of a type known from other examples, decorated with a cross motif within two circles. The pieces are flat and thin, and collectively weigh under 78 grams (2.8 oz), indicating that they were probably intended as part of a necklace. In 2017 the three objects were featured on an Irish postal stamp, one of a series showing A History of Ireland in 100 Objects. (en)
  • Trí phíosa seodra óir ón Chré-umhaois Luath (2300–2000 RC) in Éirinn is ea taisce Chagála Beag. Anois tá sé in Ard-Mhúsaem na hÉireann – Seandálaíocht i mBaile Átha Cliath, áit a mbíonn sé ar taispeáint de ghnáth. Fuarthas na píosaí i bportach i gCagála Beag, Ros Comáin sa bhliain 1945. Is éard atá ann ná luanla óir (“corrán gealaí”) agus dhá dhiosca bheaga óir, de chineál aitheanta ó shamplaí eile, a bhfuil móitíf chroise laistigh de dhá chiorcal mar mhaisiúchán orthu. Tá na píosaí cothrom agus tanaí, agus tá meáchan níos lú ná 78 gram sna trí cinn le chéile, rud a thugann le fios go mb'fhéidir gur cuid de mhuince iad. Sa bhliain 2017, bhí na trí phíosa le feiceáil ar stampa poist Éireannach, ceann de shraith darb ainm A History of Ireland in 100 Objects. (ga)
