Saint Conall Cael's bell. This iron hand bell is said to have originally belonged to St Conall Cael in the sixth century. Long after his death it was enshrined as a relic in an elaborate covering, and was worshipped by pilgrims visiting St Conall's well on the island of Inishkeel. In the fifteenth century an ornate silver 'bell shrine' was made to protect and embellish the bell. Inv. PY 1889,0902.23(&Others).
