Archaeologists searching for the remains of a 400-year-old castle have unexpectedly found evidence of an 8,000-year-old settlement.
Hoping to find the ruins of Derrygonnelly Castle in County Fermanagh, they also discovered artefacts dating back to the Mesolithic period.

As Halloween approaches, here is the grave marker of the 17th century prophetess Julia McQuillan, the Black Nun of Bonamargy Friary
Tradition claimed you could summon her ghost by circling the grave counter-clockwise before passing your hand through the hole in the stone.

While the body was well preserved, the skull was absent and was not recovered. Cut marks on the neck vertebrae indicate the cause of death as an intentional decapitation in the bog. This may be part of a pattern of ritual and sacrifice during the Iron Age period.
