stand / Helga / Mountjoy, 1916
Shell, unexploded, mounted in a bespoke wooden stand with plaque attached to the front reading 'Fired from the Helga Easter 1916 and penetrated roof of stores Mountjoy Prison'.
It is unlikely that the range and trajectory of the Helga's gun could have propelled the shell as far as mountjoy, and it is more likely that this shell was fired by artillery in the direction of the Phibsborough area.;
