FLINT  IMPLEMENT found  on the seashore at Grange, near Fethard-on-Sea.

Found recently on the seashore at Grange, near Fethard-on-Sea, on the shore of Bannow Bay, this neolithic flint implement provides evidence for settlement in south-west Wexford about 3,000 B.C.

The flint tool (described as a side scraper) could have been used to prepare fish and wild-fowl caught in the shallow bay which was a rich source of food. The fact that the flint was found on the seashore could indicate that it came from a habitation site on the cliff edge as the area is subject to coastal erosion.
