A small quantity of ammunition was recovered following a security alert in Castlefin last night.
Workmen came across the ammunition as they were working behind St Mary’s National School in the Hillhead area after 4pm.
The area was sealed off by Gardai and the Army’s Explosives Ordnance Disposal team were drafted in.
At 11.30pm last night the area was declared safe, much to the relief of local residents.
It is understood the ammunition was of a historical nature.
