Tullydonnell Gold Hoard on display in Donegal County Museum

 

The Tullydonnell Lower Gold Hoard is going on display in the Donegal County Museum this week.
The hoard was discovered by chance last year when farmers were carrying out drainage works in the area.
The hoard will be on display in the Donegal County Museum from 10am tomorrow until Saturday 30th of November.
This exceptional gold hoard, dating from the Late Bronze Age was discovered by chance in June 2018, when farmers took the opportunity of a dry summer to improve drainage at the base of a field at Tullydonnell Lower in East Donegal.
The display of the Gold Rings has been part-funded by the Creative Ireland programme and the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht.
Admission is free and all are welcome. The Museum will be facilitating school tours but booking is essential. Booking is also essential for groups.
