W2 mortar bomb made safe in Mournes

[admin]

A mortar bomb thought to date back to World War Two has been found in the Mourne Mountains.

The shell was discovered in the Blue Lough area, near Annalong, County Down.

It was made safe on Sunday by bomb experts who carried out a controlled explosion.

The area had been used during and after WW2 as an artillery firing range, and according to one mountain volunteer, "bits and pieces" of bombs are still being found years later.

I was up Binnian on Sunday, and back down Annalong Valley Path, but didn't see or hear anything.
