►EING at Armagh in September laft, I was cafually informed ReadDec.zi, 

 that one of the tenants of his grace the Primate, by name Pooler, 

 had in his poffeflion fome ancient trumpets not long fince dug out 

 of a neighbouring bog. I went to his houfe, which is about a 

 mile from the town, and there faw two of them, and afterwards 

 a third at the houfe of an artift in Armagh, where it had been fent 

 to be repaired ; — a drawing of the moft perfedt is hereunto an- 

 nexed. 



Mr. Pooler informed me, that four of them had been dug up 

 at the fame time, and nearly in the fame place ; and that the tra- 

 dition of the place is, that a mighty battle was there once fought, 

 and that fome king of Ulfter had his palace not fardiflant; but 

 when, or between whom the combat was reported to have been,he 

 could not give me any information.
