One Irish farmer got more than he bargained for last month during some routine maintenance on his property on Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry, Ireland.
During the process of some land reclamation, the farmer stumbled upon what appeared to be an archeological site and contacted a local expert who later confirmed the finding to be a tomb.
Following the report on April 13, the local archeologist reached out to Dr. Bernard Gilhooly, curator of the Irish Antiquities Division of the National Museum of Ireland, to report the discovery.
