A slab of butter believed to be hundreds of years old has been uncovered on a Donegal farm.
The ancient butter chunk was unearthed while work was ongoing at Micheál Boyle’s farm at Loughfad, Portnoo. Boyle spotted the block of butter peeking out of the ground after digger driver Alan Moore lifted a bucket of clay.
