Ringforts
Of all the historical monuments found in Ireland the ringfort is the most numerous numbering in the tens of thousands. Referred to in Irish as lios, ráth, cathair, caiseal and dún, some forts date to the late Bronze Age (c. 1000BC – 500BC). They were built long before Christianity and therefore had no connection with the religions of today. However, as with all civilisations throughout time, the presence of a higher power was felt.
Archaeologists believe that forts were either defensive structures or protective rings around homes. Some people believe however that the forts also served another purpose and that our ancestors, with an extensive knowledge and understanding of universal and Earth energies, built the structures around sites which tapped into these energies. Our ancestors were skilled in utilising these energies to replenish the body, the land and animals, and to improve the quality of life on Earth.
Today, energy points as well as the energy lines connecting them, can be divined in many ring forts. Though forgotten for many centuries, people are once again beginning to learn of the healing benefits of these very special places.
