There was also a discovery in Antrim a few days before that that shed new light on the origins of the Celtic people (spoiler – we may have gone from here to Central Europe, and not the other way around).
Cool.
(I date the extinction of the Celts to about 2000 AD when DNA testing showed they were the same as the ancient Britons ^_^)
Weren’t the Britons as ‘Celtic’ as we are? Basically all of England was Welsh before the Romans and Saxons and Normans?
The whole ‘Celtic’ notion is a bit bogey in fairness when it’s used to describe the earliest inhabitants of these islands.
Cheers. That’ll be a good read :)
