NRA rejects claims of new archaeological find on M3 route

The National Roads Authority is rejecting a claim that an important archaeological find has been made at a site in the path of the new M3 motorway.

Campaign group "TaraWatch" has claimed that two underground stone chambers, believed to date to the Stone Age, have been found in Lismullen in the Tara Valley.

As a result the group wants work to stop on the M3.

However, the NRA has insisted that the find is not new.
