Full Description
When some of the paving of the pre-turnpike road was dug up in Grangemill, probably in the late 1920s [described in 1934 as being 'a few years ago'], during the excavation of foundations for a new farm building, a small polished stone celt, about two inches long was discovered. Also found was 'a curious stone socket similar to those used with fire sticks in order to cause a spark through friction. The socket has been worn smooth inside'. This has been interpreted as a strike-a-light. (1, 2).
