Only hand-bells survive from early Ireland, but in the 19thC Margaret Stokes rang a dinner bell from the top of a round tower and it was heard half a mile away!
Early Medieval Ireland is known for some of the finest metalworking objects of #IrishArchaeology, including the Ardagh Chalice, but what about the everyday objects used by people at the time? @AidanOSulliva15 explores the material of early Irish households

He was speculating on how the famous Old Countess of Desmond had lived to 140.
