Restrictions Lifted at Lough Neagh Beauty Spot After Discovery of Suspected Wartime Munition
Restrictions have been lifted at Oxford Island in Co Armagh after the discovery of a suspected wartime munition.
The object has since been made safe after its examination by specialist PSNI officers at the Lough Neagh beauty spot and nature reserve near Lurgan, as the Belfast Telegraph reports.
A number of people were stranded in the area for up to four hours when it was cordoned off on Thursday afternoon (26 October).
One visitor, Susan Kyle, told the BBC that she and her two children had only just arrived to feed the ducks when the only road in and out was closed.
However, despite the difficulties she and others experienced, Kyle described it as “a lovely place to be stranded”.
