Nice to see you back brennus. I think there is still a bit of fireworks on here but it depends on where you look.

I'll try in French or Spanish section, they never disappoint us

Nice to see you too, Grace, regards

"Ireland has a rich and fascinating ancient history; from the great megalithic structures of the Neolithic, like Newgrange, to the spectacular gold jewellery of the Indo-European Bell Beaker folk, the weapon hoards of the Irish Bronze Age, the enigmatic La Tene Celtic art of the Iron Age and the intricate knot-work of the Hiberno-Norse in the Irish Viking age. I look at all of these in this brief account of the history of Ireland, and then I discover a gothic castle called Knockdrinn, in which my ancestors lived, and which local people believe to be haunted. Finally, I read some spooky accounts of the ghostly creatures of the castle taken from the folklore collection at University College Dublin."

Looked at all of this. It is amazing the rich history of the Isles. The metal work is intricate. The earlier sacrifices were interesting I would love to know more about this time but it is obviously something lost to history due to the fact that they didn't record anything. Really fascinating though.
