A pagan site - the size of three football pitches - dating from 3,500 BC ... discovered at Lismullen, Co Meath. Experts believe the find could be one of the most significant archaeological discoveries unearthed here, and might be the site of a structure similar to Stonehenge but made with wood.

I managed to get this one earlier ... Google Books apparently gets fits of the whimsies at times, and material found previously doesn't necessarily re-emerge on subsequent occasions ...
