==History== thumb|left|Derrynaflan Chalice Killenaule came to national prominence in Ireland due to the discovery of the Derrynaflan Chalice. It was discovered at Derrynaflan Island in 1980 by Michael Webb and his son. They were scanning the area with a metal detector, then a relatively new device for hobbyists. The chalice was part of the Derrynaflan Hoard, consisting of an 8th-century chalice, a strainer or ladle and a paten. They were enclosed in a bronze basin buried 45 cm below ground and found about 20 metres from a church ruin.
