Popis:	A zoomorphic penannular brooch from the early medieval period discovered recently in unusual circumstances in North Kerry is described and illustrated, with discussion on its date, decoration and iconography. The crosses/chi-rho monograms on its terminals are given particular attention and are compared with similar examples from Ireland. A date of around AD 600 is proposed for the brooch and the evidence for contemporary Christian settlement in the area of the find is detailed. Reports on the XRF analysis and conservation of the brooch are also included.
