A field fire has been reported at a site near Bangor made famous by a Rihanna music video in 2011.
The blaze was reported on Wednesday afternoon at the field on the Belfast Road.
Police closed the road at its junctions with the Ballyrobert and Craigantlet Roads, but have since reopened them.

Visibility had been poor as smoke from the fire clouded the surrounding area.
The Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service said the fire had been brought under control on Wednesday evening by three appliances, after a call at around 3.50pm.
The field was made famous in 2011 when pop star Rihanna filmed the music video for "We Found Love" there.
Controversy arose when farmer Alan Graham withdrew permission for the field to be used when he saw Rihanna was wearing a bikini top for the shoot.
The incident reached a global audience, with American outlets such as CNN and ABC picking up on the story.
Following it, Mr Graham received support for his stance from unlikely places.
The Belfast Telegraph reported that Carry On and EastEnders star Barbara Windsor said at the time: "I don’t blame him. How old is he?
"Does he need that at his time of life, seeing Rihanna taking her top off? He doesn’t."
Despite the incident, the music video for 'We Found Love' won a Grammy Award for 'Best Short-Form Music Video', while the song itself topped the Billboard charts and became one of Rihanna's best known hits.
