This discovery refutes the notion that Ireland was insignificant or underdeveloped before the arrival of so-called โ€œcivilisation.โ€

Scientists have found evidence that the Brusselstown Ring in County Wicklow once held more than 600 tightly-knit houses. This makes it the largest known prehistoric hillfort settlement in Ireland or Britain, and possibly in the entire Atlantic Archipelago (some researchers say it may challenge Europe for the title of largest!).

Dating from around 1200 to 400 BC (up to over 3,000 years ago), this was not just a group of scattered huts or a temporary shelter. It was a dense, permanent, and well-organised community, surrounded by massive ramparts that covered several hills. Such a large scale was rare, even in later Iron Age Europe.

Excavations show something even more striking: no evidence of elite wealth or rigid hierarchy. Houses of different sizes were used simultaneously, yet material culture indicates a largely egalitarian, carefully planned and sustained society โ€”possibly with engineered water storage to support a large population.

This directly challenges the long-standing idea that nothing of complexity or worth existed here before later invaders arrived. Or, the idea that the Vikings built the first towns which is extraordinary, even to me. I am blown away by this.

Long before Vikings.
Long before the Normans.
Long before the Empire.

There was a civilisation here. Just because you can't see it above ground, doesn't mean it didn't exist. Our people have been here thousands of years; the attempted erasure, destruction, and eradication is exposed and will continue to be exposed.

If you are interested in researching further, please see the many articles posted recently across various sites, including Archaeology Magazine, BBC, Phys, and many more.

The Battle of Clontarf, fought on Easter weekend in 1014 in the Dublin suburban area of Clontarf, is often misunderstood. The battle was fought between Brian Boru, the High King of Ireland, and a coalition of Norse-Gaels of Dublin, a rebel alliance of Leinster, and Viking mercenaries from the Isle of Man, Orkney, and beyond. It was a pivotal moment in Irish history, and the story of Clontarf remains a beacon of Gaelic culture and inspiration for many on the island of Ireland.

In my historical fiction novella, you can enter this world and see the battle play out through the eyes of Brian Boru, his son Donnchad, and the Viking-Pirate Brodir of Man. Here's the full description:

THE FORGOTTEN PRINCE: AN INVASION ISLAND STORY โš”๏ธ

Immerse yourself in the chilling events leading up to the legendary Battle of Clontarf on Good Friday, 1014 AD, with this mesmerising historical fiction novella. Based on the short screenplay King Brian & Brodรญr, this story weaves together the fates of Brian Boru, High King of Ireland, his son Donnchad, and the mysterious Viking pirate Brodรญr of Man.

High King Brian Boru prepares to fight the Viking invaders and Gaelic rebels while his son Donnchad struggles with shame over being left out of the upcoming battle. Donnchad caught amid prophecy and tension, searches for his actual place in the evolving drama as the shadowy figure of Brodรญr, a would-be invader, looms large over the battlefield. The Forgotten Prince examines the supernatural influences on Gaelic Ireland and historical personalities like the infamous Sitric Silkenbeard. The depiction of Ireland's most famous battle brings the time period to life, and the reader will most certainly be educated about the mysterious world of ร‰ire (Ireland) in 1014 AD. This edition contains the original screenplay, King Brian & Brodรญr, a detailed map of Clontarf and its surroundings on the day of battle, expressive artwork, and more.

The novella is available worldwide on Amazon. Make sure you are in your correct Amazon storefront for your region.
