This large stone decorated with engravings dating to the Late Stone Age has been discovered at an ancient site in Ireland that sits in the path of a controversial highway project.

The stone has been removed from the site, and construction of the highway is scheduled to resume.

Salafia said that as many as 40 archaeological sites have been uncovered along the route of the M3 highway.

Too bad they can't/won't route the highway around.

The motifs read, "Eat at Joe's!"

The Hill of Tara is an absolutely beautiful site. It is really ashame that they can not be a bit more sensitive to its history while moving their roadways into the 21st century.
