          For what its worth, small number of finds may indicate carried to E Africa by Anglo-Saxon travellers, rather than indirectly as trade goods!

          @VVedaprakash I think many people then thought it spherical but he had theological reasons for thinking otherwise...

          @caitlinrgreen Yes, but there is chronological aspect to decide when they were believing that earth was flat and then spherical!

          Yeah, not much written on AS interactions in Ireland, probably just picked up along the way as recycled market goods.
