World 4,000-year-old altar was ‘lost’ in Ireland. Then professor has ‘eureka moment’A folklorist and professor in Ireland discovered a 4,000-year-old tomb that was thought to be missing and destroyed, he said. The folklorist and professor had recently come across a reference to an ancient Bronze Age tomb that once existed on the peninsula. The tomb, considered “lost” since 1852, was said to have stood on the same hill overlooking the village Baile an Fheirtéaraigh in West Kerry, where Mag Fhloinn lives. That was when I realized, okay, I really think I’m on the right track here,” Mag Fhloinn said.
