Stuffed boar's head found during Tidy Towns clean-up in Mayo

A STUFFED boar's head has been discovered during a roadside clean-up organised by Castlebar Tidy Towns Committee.

A volunteer got a shock when making the find along the N5 roadway between Castlebar and Turlough.

"It is not something you would expect to get during a clean-up operation focused on items disposed by dashboard litter louts and I admit it gave me a bit of a fright initially," said the volunteer.

The head, which is attached to a timber stand, has been removed to a local landfill site.
