Sad that we haven't happier news on the Solstice,
but here's something that's in the news.

Heritage experts today condemned the destruction
of part of a 3,000-year-old Celtic fort in Co
Kerry.

The 700 metres of earthen works that surrounded
the ancient Dún Mór Fort on the Dingle Peninsula
were levelled at the weekend by an excavating
machine. An entrance and a standing stone with an
ogham (Celtic writing) inscription were also
removed.
