Prehistoric site found near the Hill of Tara

There are reports of a major Prehistoric find near the road works on the new Motorway the M3.
It follows the finding of what has been described as a substantial national monument at Lismullen, beside the Hill of Tara.
The ancient and as yet unknown site in any records is said to be the size of three football fields.
The find comes on the day the Minister for Transport, Martin Cullen, turned the first sod on the M3 motorway.
Ireland's heritage organisation, An Taisce, has been seeking permission from the High Court to challenge the construction of the M3 motorway, in legal action that could have implications for the State's entire road building programme. An Taisce described the building of the M3 as having very major consequences for a range of environmental issues, and it said it would have adverse effects on the national monument at the Hill of Tara.
