"Taisce Bhrú Íochtair  An taisce de dhéantáin óir o" Bhrú Íochtair, Co. Dhoire, is ea an fhionnachtain is eisceachtúla de mhiotalóireacht larannaoise.  Fuarthas coiléar feadánach, mionbhád agus mionchoire, péire slabhraí muiníl agus péire coiléar casta (toirc), ón lú haois RCh, ar bhruach ársa Loch Feabhail i gCo. Dhoire.  Samhlaíodh Manannán mac Lir le Loch Feabhail agus d'fhéadfadh sé gur tagairt é an logainm brú Íochtair dá áit chónaithe faoi thoinn.
    "Ar na déantáin is suntasaí tá múnla de bhád ór le crann, binsí rámhaíochta, rámhaí agus feisteas eile a d'oireadh mar ofráil do dhia mara.
  Is cosúil go bhfuil capall an-stílithe sa mhaisiú ar an gcoiléar feadánach, ainmhí a shamhlaítear le Manannán mac Lir thar aon duine eile."
​"The Broighter Hoard  The hoard of gold objects from Broighter, Co. Derry, is the most exceptional find of Iron Age metalwork in Ireland.  The tubular collar, miniature boat and cauldron, two neck chains and pair of twisted collars (torcs), which date to the 1st century BC, were found on the ancient shore of Lough Foyle in Co. Derry.  The sea god Manannán mac Lir was associated with Lough Foyle and the place-name Broighter
 (from the Irish Brú Íochtair) may be a reference to his underwater residence.
    "Most notable is the model gold boat with its mast, rowing benches, oars and other fittings that can be regarded as an appropriate offering to a sea god.  The decoration on the tubular collar appears to include a highly stylised horse, an animal that is especially associated with Manannán mac Lir."
