Stoc [1]

a brazen tube, formed like a cow's horn, used in the Middle Ages as a speaking trumpet on the tops of church towers to assemble the faithful to worship, and to proclaim new moons, quarters, and ecclesiastical festivals. The marquis of Drogheda possesses a remarkable Irish specimen of the stoc.
