A 64-year-old farmer has been fined �25,000 (�21000 / $33000 approx) at the Circuit Criminal Court in Tralee, Ireland for destroying a 1,000-year-old ringfort, which was a protected national monument. In one of the first prosecutions of its kind to come before the courts, John O'Mahony pleaded guilty to carrying out work on the fort on his farm at Causeway in Co Kerry in February 2008, without notifying the National Monuments Service in advance.
