'It was important therefore that we took both time and the effort to unearth this rich seam of history. That is why in August I placed an exclusion zone around the site and ensured that the time was given to allow archaeological excavation to proceed.'

Lucky Seán Quinn is in jail or he would have moved that to the front of his Hotel, just as he did with the 4000 year Cromlech

That's a Viking settlement if I am correct.

Dating to a time when the "anglo-saxons" were just becoming literate. As the long tradition of the british terror state establishment and historians has been to hide and obscure the truth about the indigenous population, I'm sure this treasure will not be around much longer.

Probably belonged to one of the numerous Maguire tribe members. No doubt as amazing as this find is it will be concreted over to provide a roadway, a tragic loss. All ye Maguires, McGuires, etc., get together and protest!
