Turfcutters unearth 2000-year-old lump of bog butter in ancient 'no-man's-land'

A prehistoric 10kg lump of bog butter thought to have been a gift to the gods has been found by turf cutters.

The creamy white dairy product, which smells like a strong cheese and is believed to be about 2,000 years old, was unearthed by Jack Conway, from Maghera, Co Cavan, while he worked on Emlagh bog in Co Meath last week.
