    The Local Forges.
    Jim Byrnes forge is situated down a long lane in Scar.
    The forge is now roofless.
    He was the grandfather of Jim Parle of Baldwinstown
    Jim Byrne was fond of walking to Wexford, and one evening he was found dead by the roadside.
    His son was killed in the explosion at St Kearns in Fethard
    Jim Byrne was one of the best smiths in County Wexford.
    This occupation had been carried for, at least, three generations.
    There is a large arched door on the forge.
