Moylough Belt-Shrine
The Moylough Belt-Shrine is a highly decorated 8th-century Irish reliquary shaped in the form of a belt. It consists of four hinged bronze segments, each forming cavities that hold strips of plain leather assumed to have once been a girdle belonging to a saint and thus the intended relic. It remains the only known relic container created as a belt-shrine,O'Kelly (1965), p. 149 although such objects are mentioned in some lives of Irish saints, where they are attributed with "remarkable cures", and there are surviving reliquary buckles in continental Europe. The belt may have been influenced by 7th-century Frankish and Burgundian types. The shrine was found in a peat bog by John Towey in April or May 1945, while he was cutting turf near Moylough, a small village on the outskirts of Tubbercurry, County Sligo. It is dated to the 8th century based on the similarity of its decorations, particularly the glass studs, to those on the Ardagh Chalice (8th or 9th century). The art histori ...

Mac Fhirbhisigh stated that the Cruithin included "the Dál Araidhi ál nAraidi the seven Lóigisi oígisof Leinster, the seven Soghain of Ireland, and every Conaille that is in Ireland." Locations The locations of four of the seven Soghain are as follows: * A branch in the territory of Fernmag (barony of Farney, County Monaghan). * In Delvin (County Westmeath) where a Soghain tribe lived with a branch of the Delbhna in an area called ''Trícha cét na Delbna Móire agus na Sogan''. * The Corcu Shogain, who were subject to the Benntraige under the Eoghanacht.
