    Religious Census of Killukin, Creeve & Tumna

    <p>In March 1766, the Irish House of Lords instructed Church of Ireland parish clergy to compile ‘a list of the several families in their parishes’ – to record the religion of the householders and to identify any Roman Catholic priests and friars living in their area. Although most of the original 1766 religious census returns were destroyed Dublin's Public Records Office fire of 1922, a few fragments survived.</p>

    A Late Bronze Age gold necklace from Tumna, Co. Roscommon

    <p>In 1834 a group of men ‘landing potatoes’ at Tumna, Co. Roscommon discovered a collection of curious gold balls. Dating from the Late Bronze Age, these ancient artefacts had lain hidden in the ground for nearly 3,000 years. They were hollow inside and contained opposed holes to facilitate threading, suggesting that they had originally formed part of an elaborate necklace. When they were uncovered there were at least eleven balls, but today only nine are extant and these are now on display at National Museum of Ireland, Kildare Street, Dublin.</p>
