FfFfFfFF 58,120 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 A vest of chain mail, which is more than 800 years old, has been handed in to the Knights and Conquests Heritage Centre in Granard, Co Longford. The centre’s general manager Bartle D’Arcy said he was astonished when the member of the public brought in the artefact, which is in excellent condition. Mr D’Arcy said the chain mail was in such good condition because it was in water for so many years. “It only rusts if you have water and air and if its only in water it survives. When the digger brought it up it was in peat.” It is understood the chain mail dates back to 1172 shortly after the Normans arrived in Ireland. It will be restored and preserved before it goes on display.
