From the Wikipedia article
Bovedy is a meteorite that fell in the area of Bovedy, Northern Ireland, on 25 April 1969. After entering the atmosphere over the Bristol Channel, it traversed Wales and the Irish Sea before landing near Limavady. The meteorite had broken into two pieces. One piece smashed through the asbestos roof of a shop in Sprucefield, breaking into two further pieces. A larger piece of the meteorite was recovered days later in a farm field in Bovedy, 60 kilometres (37 mi) away.
