possibly previously reported elsewhere when the grave was originally discovered but new news on the relationship between the 2 people buried....pretty exciting especially in the context of the Sagas regarding Odd and Katla. Could this possibly be a rendering of a story that was in fact based on real events....?

Great, links came through, so many thanks for that. Just a quick Q: can we use the links to watch the talks at our leisure as well, or only in real time?

Thanks Anthony, very interesting.

I was struck by the number of sites around Baltinglass in Wicklow where I live. Having watched the Baltinglass ladies Gaelic football team in action against my daughter's side I have a suspicion that the fortifications were built to keep the locals confined within.

Cheers
Mick

Thank you - a very good read, and I liked his caution in assuming everything in a bog must be a ritual deposit.  I had no idea of the density of finds of Bronze Age weapons there.

Ancient and Medieval History / Warfare in Bronze Age Ireland

Not a wargames period often considered but fills out the picture of European Bronze Age warfare a little.
