Added Black book entry - [Stuck in piece of paper] 1871 Proc. Soc. Antiq. Ser II vol v pp. 222-3 "Col. A. Lane Fox V.P. exhibited a wooden instrument [a tube of yew wood] of unknown use, found in an ancient copper-mine in the parish of Skull, near Skibbereen, which is now figured (ie on p. 223] The length of the longer arm is 17 inches, of the shorter 13 inches. The diameter at the small end 1 1/2 inch, at the larger end, where a terminal piece is inserted, (shown detached in the small figure)  2 1/2 inches. (p. 223) This curious object was exhibited, in 1848, by Dr Allman in the Royal Irish Academy. He notices [Proc. R. Irish Academy IV 65] that the antiquity of the mine at the bottom of which it was found may be judged of by the fact that some of the old rubbish lies near the mouth of the cuttings, covered by two feet of naturally formed peat."
