Amber beads
Two amber beads.
These beads are similar to ones from Viking burials on Colonsay
and Islay, as well as one from York. They were found in a ninth
century building, and probably reflect increased Viking activity
and contacts in the Irish Sea, though finds from Armagh indicate
amber-working in the Irish Sea province before the Viking Age.
