  1. Hidden Treausre

    Share Share Post
    About ten years ago, while dredging the Shannon at Killaloe some Danish stone daggers were discovered. They were of peculiar workmanship rather round and thick at the handle end then tapering to a point. They were about twelve or fourteen inches in length.
