The function of a second "chamber" of Parliament, endowed with absolute veto power, is to be assumed by those druids who do not hold office in the judiciary or executive. Until there are enough of them, legislative initiatives and a new draft constitution are to be prepared primarily by a "Council of The Wise Ones/Senate" elected by the people. The widespread practice where laws are primarily submitted by governments is thus to come to a definitive end and a genuine separation of powers is thus to be practiced.

Political processes must be fundamentally public and transparent. This should also eliminate the dominant position of political parties, which represent only particular interests. In addition, lobbying must be regulated and minimised as far as possible. Source: The Nua-Celtic Manifesto

Large storage pits hewn in the rock have been found in the north-eastern part of the hillfort, the biggest of them having a diameter of 160-190 cm and a depth of 80-150 cm.

Discovered have been primarily rectangular single-room houses erected on the ground, or pit-houses partially recessed in the earth, either with a log-cabin structure or with a load-bearing frame made of posts sunk in the ground and joined by wattle-and-daub wall panels.

#HillfortsWednesday #Celtic: Excavations at Tre'r Ceiri have produced finds mainly of Roman pottery, showing that they traded with the Romans. During the final period of occupation the fort may have been used as a refuge, not from the Romans but from Irish raiders.

A second outer wall was built during the Roman Occupation period after AD 78; most of the original roundhouses were subdivided, rectangular and smaller irregular huts were added and the fort may have housed as many as 400 inhabitants at this time.

#HillfortsWednesday #Celtic: Tre'r Ceiri was probably constructed in the late #IronAge and remained in use until the 4th century AD. The earliest defences enclosed an Early Bronze Age (2000-1100 BC) burial cairn on the summit and may have housed 100 people living in about 20 houses.

A gold plated bronze brooch was discovered in one of the houses, probably made during the middle of the first century AD, which is now at the National Museum of Wales, Cardiff.

#HillfortsWednesday #Celtic: Tre'r Ceiri is one of the most and best preserved #IronAge hillforts in Britain. The impressive dry-stone ramparts that enclose it survive to near their full height of 3.5 metres in many places. The 2.5 hectare fort contains the remains of over 150 huts.

Very reluctantly he had left Tuirenn, for in his heart of hearts he feared that Uchtdealb, the faery woman who loved him, would at some time or other put an enchantment on the woman he loved and had made his wife; so before leaving he charged her maids to watch her well, and allow no stranger near her. A shadow fell across Tuirenn's work, and looking up she saw, standing by her side, a tall fair girl, with a strange look in her eyes which, to Tuirenn, seemed to betoken some hidden enmity. Unseen by the maids, Uchtdealb led Tuirenn away. When they came to the edge of the wood Tuirenn said: "I do not remember having seen you before. What is your name, and do you belong to the Clan Basna?" The girl looked at Tuirenn, and there was a wicked light in her eyes as she answered: "Have you not heard of me? I am Uchtdealb the Fair.

The weeks passed by, and when the hound had been with Fergus for about two months she gave birth to two puppies; little white and black things, that rolled and tumbled over each other in a quaint, helpless manner, which Fergus was never tired of watching.`

But Fergus grew to love the hound very much; she was so swift that no animal, however fleet it was, escaped her when she went hunting, and her intelligence was so great that Fergus was often astonished at the manner in which she seemed to understand every word he uttered.

Of all houses it was the worst to take her to, for in the whole of Ireland there was not another man like Fergus, who hated dogs, and would never keep one with him.
Uchtdealb had departed, thinking that poor enchanted Tuirenn would not have much comfort or happiness with Fergus.

After some days he went to Fionn, and said to him: "Soon, O Fionn, I must return to Ulster, and before I go I would ask you to give me Tuirenn in marriage, for I love her, and desire above all things to take her back with me to my home." Fionn, as head of his clan, had power to bestow or withhold his consent in such matters, so he said to Illan: "Do you know that Tuirenn belongs to the folk of the Sidhe, and I can only give her to you on certain conditions namely, that she shall be restored safely to me whenever I may send for her, and that you shall go surety for her safety?" "Do you think she will not be safe with me?" inquired Illan indignantly. "Yet, because she is dearer to me than everything I possess, I will willingly agree to your conditions."
