Discovery of ancient tomb in Ireland's Dingle Peninsula
A farmer undertaking land improvement works in the Dingle Peninsula in Ireland has uncovered an ancient previously undisturbed tomb. The Dingle Peninsula (Irish: Corca Dhuibhne) is in County Kerry ((Irish: Contae Chiarraí) in the south-west of Ireland. This tomb which is thought to date to back to the Bronze Age (2000BC-500BC), but could be earlier, appears to be completely untouched. It is in its original state and contains human remains. There is a news item about this remarkable new discovery on the Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ) news site. Archaeologists from the National Monuments Service and the National Museum of Ireland are investigating the site. It has been decided that the location of the site should not be disclosed in order to prevent the possibility of disturbance.
