Weapons include a medieval spear-head found at Corryolus townland beside the River Shannon presents as leaf shaped and made of a bright yellow metal.

[5] A medieval plain bronze tube found (at Curries) beside Cornacorroo townland, near Jamestown, County Leitrim, probably formed the ferule-end of a spear, measuring 22 centimetres (8.7 in) in length, is closed at the small extremity, and imperfect on the other.

[10] Domestic household items include a medieval spoon found in 1847 on the bed of the River Shannon, at Gross's island near Carrick on Shannon measures 33 centimetres (13.0 in) in length, and 10 centimetres (3.9 in) across the bowl, has an inverted lip prolonged into a T-shaped flange running around the handle for added strength; the metal is paper-thin so was probably not cast in a mould, although it bears traces of hammering.

[12] In the 19th Century the skull of an ancient Irish elk was found in the townland of Kilnagross, parish of Kiltoghert, barony and county of Leitrim, district of Eslin.

[13] In a separate find, the upper portion of the head and horn-beam of a small ancient Irish elk was found in the Shannon at Drumsna Bridge, on 19 June 1846.
