Graham-Campbell, James, and C. S. Briggs, “Some neglected Viking-age silver hoards from near Athlone and Co Cork”, Peritia 5 (1986): 309–316.
abstract:
Nineteenth-century drawings preserved in Liverpool and Dublin, with notes and letters, as well as the annotated sale catalogues of the collections formed by Thomas Bateman, Thomas Crofton Croker and the Rev Dr Neligan, have enabled the authors to discover and reprovenance material belonging to four Viking-age silver hoards from Ireland. The most important of these consists of four or five Hiberno-Viking arm-rings from near Athlone (one of a growing number of such findspots from along the Shannon). The others, comprising assorted plain rings, were found in the 1840s in Co Cork, at Lohort Castle, Kilbarry (Killeens), and Macroom Castle.
