Cavan on 25th April last year, they were throwing up a shovel-ful of clay, but something caught in a briar and they couldn't get it up. When P. Brooks stopped to lift the shovel he lifted up a sword, it was an ancient sword, about four feet long with a bronze handle, it was in good repair. It was buried for about fifty years. It is now in the possession of:-
