Irish archaeologists discover a rare 1,600-year-old idol in the Roscommon bog
Aug 14, 2021
A 1,600-year-old wooden pagan idol has been discovered in a bog in Co Roscommon by Irish archaeologists.
This rare artifact made more than 1600 years ago was discovered in the swamp of the town of Gortnacrannagh, 6 kilometers northeast of Rathcroghan, a prehistoric royal site.
The wood carving was discovered by a team of Archaeological Management Solutions (AMS) before the N5 Ballaghaderreen to Scramoge road project, which was funded by the Irish government and managed by the Irish Transport Infrastructure (TII) through the Roscommon County Council.
