Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.

For my presentation today, I'm going to talk about the Cagey Fields in the north-west of Ireland, one of the largest Neolithic sites in the world.

I recently visited this site and observed the work that is currently being done by a team of archaeologists there.

The site was first discovered in the 1930s by a local teacher, Patrick Caulfield.

He noticed that when local people were digging in the bog, they were constantly hitting against what seemed to be rows of stones.

He realised that these must be walls, and that they must be thousands of years old for them to predate the bog which subsequently grew over them.

He wrote to the National Museum in Dublin to ask them to investigate, but no one took him seriously.
