Sonnagh Fort. This fort stands
in a commanding place overlooking the
eastern plains as it extends to
Westmeath. Like all the others it
would have had a log stockade on top of
its earthen walls. These
forts were the scattered farmsteads of
the Millesian Celts who were said to be
one of six Celtic peoples to invade
Ireland and finally take full control of
it. They had a very strict priestly
order known as the Druids. |
