Book Synopsis The Irish Ringfort by : Matthew Stout
Book excerpt: This book examines all aspects of the Irish ringforts; their shape and size, their date and function with special attention to national distribution patterns. Reference to contemporary written sources brings to the fore the people who dwelt within ringforts and their relationship with neighbouring farmsteads and religious communities. This study focuses on the lives and material remains of people who are often neglected in historical studies: the men and women who were not the kings and saints of official history.
