The tomb contained an unusual smooth oval-shaped stone (above)

This afternoon.

Dingle, County Kerry.

It is believed the tomb may date to the Bronze Age (2000BC-500BC), but it could be even earlier as it displays a number of highly unusual features.

Archaeologists from the National Monuments Service and the National Museum of Ireland visited the site yesterday to carry out an initial survey.

The authorities say they will not be commenting on the find until a full survey has been completed. It is understood the oval-shaped stone has been removed for safe keeping.

Local archaeologists say it is a highly unusual and significant find.

Ah anseo.

This afternoon.

The newly opened 20 house development has been named ‘Pairceanna na Glas’ – a name that is meaningless and incorrect in terms of grammar and spelling, according to locals and scholars who are urgently pressing Kerry County Council to correct the error in what is a Gaeltacht town.

Locals began warning the council about the meaningless name last October.

However the name stone has now been erected, and it lacks the requisite fada in “páirceanna”…

…Local GP Dr Peadar Ó Fionnáin, said no one is really sure what “glas“ means in the context because of the poor gramma
