Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Discusses the court case surrounding the discovery of an Iron Age hoard of gold objects, including a model boat (the earliest evidence for the use of sail in Irish waters) from Broighter, Co Derry. The Royal Irish Academy asserted that the hoard, which had been bought by the British Museum, ought to have been declared Treasure Trove and therefore handed over to the Academy. The British Museum's probably correct position that the hoard was a votive offering was dismissed by the judge, and it was ordered to be handed over to the Crown. The hoard was soon after presented to the Royal Irish Academy and is now in the collection of the National Museum of Ireland. Ironically, the then Solicitor-General and prominent Unionist politician, Sir Edward Carson, assisted the Attorney-General in presenting the Crown's case. | |||||
