[QUOTE="carolgal, post: 818880, member: 11350"]Your question sent me off on a really interesting search on something I know little about although Ireland is full of them. My impressions are that the windows on your brooch are very different to most of them which may mean the abbey or maybe castle is very, very early Christian. Bog oak is usually thousands of years old (takes that long to form it) so the piece of oak will be quite ancient. Sorry to say I didn't find solid info but maybe set your price on the brooch a bit high to interest collectors. A lot of interest worldwide in these ruins. Hope this helps a little. Cheers[/QUOTE]
