What has been called "Ireland's biggest archaeological find in 50 years" has been unveiled in County Meath.

Excavations on farmland at Dowth Hall near Newgrange have uncovered a passage tomb cemetery that dates back 5,500 years.

Among the significant finds is a large carved kerbstone, similar to the ones at Newgrange.

During the dig at the megalithic site, two more tombs were discovered which haven't yet been fully explored.
