T2 was my auntie Bernie’s. Spiteful old bat with a couple of peg legs, but she did the finest roast badger that side of the Slaney.

It’s mad to think that there’s around 50,000 ringforts in the country and why they were so sacred and never messed with. I suppose the fellas who messed with a few were sorry they did. Apparently Sean Quinn disturbed one and we know how that turned out. And they also destroyed one when they built the Delorean factory in Belfast and that didn’t end well either.

Am I right to interpret that they all shat in the stream up to 300bc and drew water from it upstream of the shitter? Is that what they are saying?

Fascinating article, but it’s a hillfort, which is prehistoric, rather than a ringfort, which is medieval.

It should be noted that these structures were not concurrent but include all the remains of houses that would have been built and left to fall away during the entire period of this hill forts occupation which could have been hundreds of years.
