Replica of the Lough Henney helmet, now deposited in the Ulster museum. The original of the helmet was found on a battlefield at Lough Henney and was worn by an Irish gallowglass. The gallowglass were a class of elite mercenary warriors who were principally members of the Norse-Gaelic clans of Scotland between the mid 13th century and late 16th century
The helmet is of unusual form and decoration, and has been described as both a bascinet and a barbute, and is thought by some to represent a transitional form. The helmet is quite high and the bowl is made of two pieces welded together. The nasal is not flat, it protrudes somewhat, to prevent the nose of the wearer touching it.
