"Misidentified 'Cosmic Crater' on Beach Turns Out to be Kids' Dug Hole"

TL;DR Summary
An Irish television station initially reported on a "mysterious crater" at a local beach, suggesting it was evidence of a cosmic event. However, a follow-up segment revealed that the so-called "cosmic crater" was just a hole dug by two individuals with a beach spade. The discovery turned out to be a hoax, disappointing the local astrophysics enthusiast who believed he had found an impact site. The rock found in the hole will still be analyzed in the hopes of some scientific value.
