I think it a SIN to construct a roadway over an archiology site. put the road elsewhere! Irish history is alot more important. I'm sure this has everything to do with the site being in northern ireland. if it were in the south of Ireland; they would never allow it.

"the road has to be constructed" Or what? The global economy will suddenly collapse? Utterly grotesque but consistent with the ethos of the british terror state.
