Yet another example if the Irish love of the sling. The Annals of Tigernach is a record of things in Ireland until about the 13th cent, AD. In 1156, Toirdelbach hua Chonobair, the King of Ireland dies. The Annals list his possessions; "He offered all his treasures, except sword or drinkinghorn or shield or weapon, both horses and cattle and rainment, and draughtboard and draughtmen ( the game of Fidchell) bows and arrows, and slings; and he himself distributed them all, and ordained the share of each church according to order." It shows that slings were thought well enough to be mentioned in a will.
