While cutting grass for his cows, right by the roadside under the oak trees at the ruins of an ancient fort in County Westmeath, Ireland, a farmer named Thomas Dunne unexpectedly found two strange objects. Photo: @National Museum of Ireland.

Thomas Dunne initially thought the two objects were just pieces of a horse plough, or some kind of scrap metal, and almost threw them back into the ditch. Photo: @National Museum of Ireland.

But after thinking about it, the objects were found right in the ruins of an ancient fortress, so Thomas Dunne thought they might have archaeological significance, so he decided to send them to the National Museum of Ireland. Photo: @National Museum of Ireland.

The results of in-depth archaeological exploration, research, and analysis show that these two objects are actually two ancient axe blades, estimated to date from the Early Bronze Age, dating from 2,150 to 2,000 BC. Photo: @National Museum of Ireland.

“We are delighted to have discovered these two Early Bronze Age axe blades, which would have been highly sophisticated for the time they were made,” Matt Seaver, assistant curator of antiquities at the National Museums of Ireland, said in a statement. Photo: @National Museums of Ireland.
