... that the 8th century Irish reliquary known as the Moylough Belt-Shrine (pictured) was found 1945 by a workman while cutting turf? Source: Ó Floinn, Raghnal. The Moylough Belt-Shrine.

Overall: Looks good. The Internet Archive has a copy of the 2003 book you cite, which requires registration to view. I've read it and I've linked it in the article; facts confirmed although there was a minor glitch in the quote ("must have been" rather than "would have been"). However, I'm a bit confused by your page numbers, which don't match those in the IA's copy. I see the pages of this chapter as 197-206? Blythwood (talk) 20:54, 29 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
Hi Blythwood, I bought a pamphlet in the holding museum (where the author, Ó Floinn, works) a few weeks back, which was basically the chapter published separately, so my p.7 is the same as your p. 197. The isbn is 978-1-9055-69225-9...prob I'll switch to mine as easiest. Ceoil (talk) 21:07, 29 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
Ah, that's perfect. In that case I'm happy to pass. It's probably better to have the citation to a book the IA have digitised and which seems to be more widely available (I'm not seeing your ISBN on online catalogues) so I've switched the page numbers and references to the full book edition.

When you cut turf, you remove the grass and top few inches of soil with the grass roots to lay elsewhere to form a lawn. This antiquity was found more than three feet below the surface, so it is more likely that the finder was cutting peat rather than turf, a traditional source of fuel in Ireland.
