Roman fort (or something) at Drumanagh

Some years ago there was some scandal over a supposed Roman fort discovered at  Drumanagh. I understand
there was litigation involved too. Has anything more come of this? A student brought this up. 

Thanks.

Re: Roman fort (or something) at Drumanagh

If this has to do with claims of Romans in Ireland, see my post from last
February (which links to 1996 coverage specifically about Drumanagh):

... the issue at D was illegally excavated items; from what I gather from
later reports of similar activities at the site, anything found is in the
National Museum and not on display, see, e.g.:

... it might take a while for that one to show up on your screen.
