Dry weather reveals ancient site in Meath's Boyne Valley


Relics of Ireland’s ancient past have been uncovered - thanks to the recent heatwave and drought.

Images captured by a drone show a previously undiscovered monument or henge close to the 5,000 year old Newgrange monument in County Meath.

Measuring up to 200m in diameter, it is believed to be a late Neolithic or early Bronze Age enclosure.

“The weather is 95% responsible for this find,” said Anthony Murphy who found the site along with Ken Williams.
