Proof that even ancient folk needed the nit comb

A fine tooth comb is among treasures uncovered at an excavation site near Enniskillen, County Fermanagh.

Arrow heads, pottery and ancient human remains have been found at the crannog - a kind of artificial island - which could date back more than 1,000 years.

The site is being cleared to allow for a new road, but archaeologists have been given time to glean all they can before the bulldozers move in.

"The Cherrymount link crannog was thought initially to date back to the 14th century but now evidence suggests it went back to early medieval times," said archaeologist Declan Hurl.

1. The authorities should allow these people far more time to go through this stuff B4 it's paved over.

Amazing!

Once it has been overlaid by so much concrete, and asphault, no one's going to know what's still under there for hundreds of years, I'm sure.

Have never heard of "crannogs" until seeing this article.

Thanks! Rec.
