Workers find 3,000-year-old barrel of butter in Irish peat bog
An oak barrel full of butter, estimated to be roughly 3,000 years, old has been found in a peat bog in County Kildare in Ireland.
The amazing discovery was found by peat workers John Fitzharris and Martin Lane who noticed a white streak in the bog.
When they knelt down to examine it, they saw it was a barrel, or trunk, full of butter. It was largely in tact and had a lid.
It had a large split down it caused by the butter expanding over time.
Archaeologists say the barrel, which is 3ft long, almost a foot wide and weighs 35kgs(77lbs), is a ‘really fine example’.
Pádraig Clancy, of Ireland’s National Museum, estimates that the barrel is approximately 3,000 years old, from the Iron Age.

How many minutes to earn the price of a Big Mac?
THE size of your pay packet may be important, but so is its purchasing power. Helpfully, a UBS report published this week offers a handy guide to how long it takes a worker on the average net wage to earn the price of a Big Mac in 73 cities. Fast-food junkies are best off in Chicago, Toronto and Tokyo, where it takes a mere 12 minutes at work to afford a Big Mac. By contrast, employees must toil for over two hours to earn enough for a burger fix in Mexico City, Jakarta and Nairobi.
