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.
Bloody hell, for the time period in western Europe thats gigantic.
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.
Where is it?
Just looked at it there on Google Maps and the boundary looks mahoosive from satellite. Ta for the update OP
That’s the housing crisis sorted. 👌
Why Brusselstown? And why does nobody live there now?Â
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.
The NIMBYs are going to have a field day with this. Did they even have planning permission?
