Country: Ireland (Republic of) Irish archaeologists are celebrating the discovery of their own 'Dead Sea scrolls' after a bulldozer unearthed fragments of a psalter that may have lain in a bog for more than 1,000 years.

The book of psalms was found last Thursday when an engineer excavating bogland in the midlands noticed a bundle near his digger's scoop. It turned out to be the animal skin pages of an early Christian psalter that appears to date back as far as AD800. One psalm - number 89 - was still legible.
