#Carrig Hillfort for #Celtic #HillfortsWednesday: „The early #Irish laws tell us quite a lot about what we might expect to find inside a #ringfort. There was a main family house and an outhouse; there were animal pens and hencoops and sometimes beehives; a dunghill was in the centre and there would have been a variety of arm equipment, such as a plough, spades, billhooks, threshing sticks etc. Many ringforts also had a souterrain, a type of undergorund cellar which could gave been used for storing food or as a refuge from attack. The main entrance into the ringfort was often paved and was swept regularly.“
