    A bronze pin about six inches long was found in a bog in Dreenlomane about six years ago, by Patrick Donovan, Dreenlomane.
    Sketch of Pin.
    [drawing on page here]
    Patrick Driscoll, Ratravane, Ballydehob, informed me that what appeared to be some sort of brooch made of bronze was found in Raheen bog (south of townland of Dreenlomane, parish of Schull,) about 30 years ago, by a man named Dan Sullivan, Cussivinna (Ballydehob). I have enquired about the brooch of the Sullivan family and they do not know what became of it.
