Boora Bog (Irish ''Portach na Buaraí'') is a cutaway peat bog situated in County Offaly, Ireland.〔http://www.loughbooraparklands.com/parklands〕 Peat was harvested for fuel between the 1950s and 1970s, and the land is now being reclaimed for agricultural and eco-tourism use. There was a lake called Lough Boora (''Loch na Buaraí''), which was drained by Bord na Móna, but was not used for peat production: this area is now maintained as a nature reserve by the Irish Wildlife Trust.〔()〕 There are two angling lakes. The highest observed 20th century air temperature in Ireland, 32.5 °C was measured at Boora on 29 June 1976〔http://www.met.ie/climate/temperature.asp〕 ==Archaeology== In 1977, a prehistoric site was discovered at Lough Boora. Excavations revealed a temporary settlement dated to the Mesolithic era. No structures were discovered, but stone axe heads, arrow heads, and blades were discovered, surrounding a series of fire sites. The finds were dated to approximately between 6800 BCE and 6000 BCE. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Boora Bog」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
