HC Deb 12 December 1985 vol 88 cc729-30W
Mr. Murphy

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what representations he has received relating to the implications for the archaeological heritage of the possible development of the Navan fort site in County Armagh; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Needham

A planning application for an extension to an existing quarry, which lies adjacent to Navan Fort, generated widespread interest and a substantial number of representations were received relating to the implications for the archaeological heritage of the site. The Planning Appeals Commission has held a public inquiry to consider the application and is expected to report early in the new year.
