 Oh Danny Boy, the pipes the pipes are calling
 From glen to glen and down the mountainside,
 The summer's gone and all the roses falling
 It's you, it's you must go and I must bide.
 But come ye back when summer's in the meadow,
 Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow -
 'Tis I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow.
 Oh Danny Boy, oh Danny Boy, I love you so.

 And when ye come and all the flowers are dying
 If I am dead, as dead I well may be:
 Ye'll come and find the place where I am lying,
 And kneel and say an 'Ave' the for me,
 And I shall hear  though soft you tread above me,
 And all my grave shall warmer sweeter be;
 For you will bend and tell me that you love me,
 Then I shall sleep in peace until you come to me.

In 1892, while ploughing a field belonging to Joseph Gibson in the townland of Broighter near Limavady town, farm worker Thomas Nicholl discovered what has come to be known as the Broighter Gold. It consists of a beautiful model boat complete with mast, yard, seats, oars, boothooks and a rudder and also two torcs, a small bowl and magnificent celtic collar.
After being sold for modest amounts on a few occasions, the hoard ended up in the British Museum. The Royal Irish Academy claimed the items as "treasure trove". There then followed the famous "Gold Ornament Trial" in which it was demonstarted that the gold was deliberately buried and was thus "treasure trove" and not thrown overboard from a ship as an offering to a god at a time when this low lying land was reputedly below sea-level, as claimed by the British Museum. The items have since occupied pride of place at the National Museum in Dublin, with copies on display at the Ulster Museum, Belfast.
