Anyone know what was on fire at the Donabate turnoff of the M1? Look pretty big.

Looked like a huge bonfire, it was dome shaped. But I don't think anyone would get away with building a bonfire that big there so I'm not sure what it was!

There was still smoke coming off it as I cycled past at 7 o'clock this morning. It looked like it was in the middle of a wooded area, a short distance away from the south-bound entry slip road.

It will probably burn for another day or so.
