Fascinating stuff. Also, cheer up Kerry. While this rules out one thing, it opens up another entirely... Mesolithic peoples in Kerry were hardy enough to be collecting/hunting/munching on Bear bones. That's a prehistoric flex right there. www.thejournal.ie/ancient-kerr...

Ancient 'Kerry cow' bones discovered on Dingle Peninsula ‘were never cattle at all’

The discovery ‘removes one of the most significant pieces of evidence for when agriculture developed in Ireland or Britain’.

Gentle reminder that archaeologists prime feckin role is to speak ill of the dead... Look at the absolute state of that inhumation. What were they thinking? Were they glad to get rid of them or what? They must have been an awful bollox altogether.

Cf. Síd/Shee placenames/mounds; Giants graves/Wedge Tombs; Diarmuid and Grainne's Beds/Portal Tombs; Plantations, Early Modern Landscape Enclosure, the Famine, all have large parts to play in people forgetting the social memory/landscape they used to live and travel within.

The real Patrick is here. On a mission to bring the word of God to the edge of the world. www.confessio.ie/about/hypers... All else is innovation, and its hard to see why we'd stop at any particular point and say "Now, THIS is where we stop".

Post Reformation, the classification of Patrick and the early Irish Christian church was hotly debated, with Patrick being declared Catholic, Anglican, Presbyterian and even (by John Toland) a rationalist free thinker. www.irishphilosophy.com/2015/03/17/a...

Gentle reminder that in and around 500AD, the Britons were the Welsh, the Welsh were British, the Irish were the Scots, and the Scots were the Irish. The Picts were the Picts, but they weren't that picky.
