Ancient cave art discovery suggests first known humans in Ireland walked over from Wales
Researchers believe the first known humans to set foot on Ireland thousands of years ago were most likely from Wales, following the exciting discovery of ancient cave art. During the most recent Ice Age, when much of the British Isles were beneath a vast continental glacier, the depleted sea levels opened a lost land bridge between modern-day Pembrokeshire and the south-east tip of Ireland, around Rosslare. According to rock expert Dr George Nash, from Liverpool University, the opportunities presented by this pathway would have been too good for hunter gatherers to ignore. Now, alongside an international team of experts, Nash has located eight cave sites in south-west Ireland featuring rock art dating back from at least 15,000 years ago, around 5,000 years before the previous oldest example of humans in Ireland. Nash, who coordinated the Lost Land Bridge Project, said there would have been a forested and grassland plateau around 46 miles (76 km) coast-to-coast.
