Viggen Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 ARCHAEOLOGISTS working for Tesco have dug up more than they bargained for at the site of the company's planned new supermarket in Ballymoney. Hoping to discover traces of a medieval castle, believed to have once occupied the site, the archaeologists were amazed when they unearthed remains which date back some 9,000 years. Fragments of clay pottery and flints have been found in what is thought to be the remnants of an ancient settlement from the Neolithic period. Scientists also uncovered a complete axehead and evidence of a possible structure. more at ICNorthernIreland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
