says archaeologists believe they have uncovered the remains of a 4,000 year old Neolithic (New Stone Age) settlement at Tarmac's Borras quarry in Wrexham.
They noticed dark areas resembling cooking pits appearing whilst topsoil and subsoil was being removed for sand and gravel extraction. Tarmac has suspended work in the area of the finds whilst experts from Clwyd-Powys Archaeological Trust (CPAT) excavate the remains.
The only other similar Neolithic site is at St George's Quarry, Abergele.
