Anger at damage to Rathcroghan site

A Roscommon Heritage site has been left considerably damaged following an unathourised celebration during the Winter Solstice.

In a post on social media the Rathcroghan Visitor Centre have hit out at a group of people who lit fires at the world famous site on Monday night.

They claim the N5 was brought to a standstill and despite the efforts of local farmers the gathering continued to act irresponsibly.
