The amazing story of a 4,000-year-old necklace found in a dumpster

A 4,000 year old necklace and two discs are now in The National Museum of Ireland after they were found in a dumpster.

The necklace, called a lunala, was worn by the early kings of Ireland. It is thought to date from between 2,300 and 1,800 BC.

It was first discovered in March 1945 in Coggalbeg, County Roscommon by farmer Hubert Lannon. He found it in a bog while he was cutting turf and kept it in his home.
