Where did the Celts live? Celtic settlements: Raths, Crannogs, Hillforts, Promontory Forts

What are Raths? Raths are forts that are enclosed by circular ditches or mounds of earth Made of timber Where wood was scarce, some were built in stone, these are called cashels Archaeologists use aerial photography to find locations- over 40,000 in Ireland Several families lived inside them Underground passages called souterrains( used for hiding/storing food)

What is this called?

What are crannogs? Man-made islands in lakes Circle made of trees: circle of wooden stakes was put onto the bed of water, then layers of stones, mud and twigs were put into the circle to build a mound higher than the water level, a fence was built around the mound and houses were built inside the fence Some crannogs linked to mainland by wooden bridge, stepping stones or by boats hidden along the shore Archaeologists have found over 1200 crannogs across Ireland Found many bronze and iron tools

What are Hillforts? Like raths but much bigger and built on a hill 50 have been found in Ireland Used for important events such as religious festivals or markets Possibly be headquarters of Celtic kings Example: Tara(Co Meath)

What are Promontory forts? Built on cliff tops Found on the west and south coast of Ireland Example is Dun Aengus on Inis Mor in the Aran Islands Archaeologists believe this was used for religious purposes
