The Derrybrien Necklace was an Irish archaeological discovery dated to 800-700 BC. In June 1954, Joseph McHugo of Derrybrien was turf-cutting in an area of upland bog some six hundred feet above sea level. At a depth of thirty to thirty-five cm, he discovered a large number of small, scattered beads, spread over an area of about one metre. A small fragment of gold was found in association.
