Last weekend a gang of up to 40 people vandalized one of Ireland’s historic monuments which dates back to to 1700 BC.
The Irish Examiner reports that the drunken thugs pulled stones from An Grianan Fort in Co. Donegal and defecated in a holy well before they verbally abused tourists.
The ancient ring fort sits 750 feet above sea level and offers spectacular views of the surrounding countryside.
Two of the accused, who both hail from Derry, appeared before Letterkenny District Court on Monday.
Raymond McCormick of Ballbane Pass, and William Sweeney of Oaklands Park, both Creggan, pleaded guilty to causing criminal damage to the fort on Jul 6. The pair were sentenced in Buncrana District Court in County Donegal on Thursday.
