A stone pendant found by 15-year-old Darragh McDaniel while helping his father dig a drain on their property in Drumcliffe, County Sligo (Ireland), may be a small stone tool made of jasper that would have been worn around the neck and used to polish stone axes, or a Bronze Age archer's stone wrist-guard repurposed as a pendant. Darragh had previously identified a Bronze Age fulacht fiadh or 'burnt mound' on his father's land.
     Two previously unrecorded shell middens have been reported to the Archaeological Survey of Ireland. Numerous querns - including one brought ashore from Oyster Island by members of the North West Sea Kayaking Association - are now part of the collections of the National Museum of Ireland.
     Community Archaeologist Tamlyn McHugh spotted some previously unidentified rock art on one of the large boulders used to support the capstone of the Neolithic Cloghcor portal tomb while doing a video interview for the Sligo Community Archaeology Project. Returning after dark accompanied by a photographer, torchlight revealed a series of cupmarks, along with a possible rosette design, adding to only a few known examples rock art on portal tombs in Ireland.
