	Irish Scabbards
		The Bann scabbards were produced by craftsmen with a detailed knowledge of all the finer subtleties of British and Continental scabbard engraving.
		The Bann scabbards are critical in a consideration of the origins and chronology of the La Tene Iron Age in the country and have at all times figured prominently in discussions on such topics.
		The artificer of Bann 1 was, perhaps, the most successful of all the scabbard-makers at embellishing the scabbard-tip, for he succeeded in continuing, almost to the end, the same pattern as on the main portion of the plate, though in attenuated form.

	:: Environment and Heritage Service - Natural Heritage ::
		The Lower Bann Floodplain comprises the flat floodplain landscape of the River Bann to the south of Coleraine, at a point where the Bann is joined by a series of tributaries, including the Macosquin River, the Aghadowey River, the Agivey River and the Ballymoney River.
		The immediate margins of the river channels are particularly sensitive for their nature conservation value, and the rivers are important visual features in the landscape.
		A key element in the south of the LCA landscape is the Kilrea glaciofluvial complex that has aesthetic significance because of the variety of glacigenic morphology expressed within a relatively small area and the pristine nature of the majority of the topography, largely unspoilt by commercial aggregate workings, especially the area of Tully Hill.
