One of Europe’s Earliest Centers of Power Discovered in Ireland

Human skull fragment recovered from the King's Stables ritual pool near Haughey's Fort, County Armagh, Northern Ireland

Published in the journal Antiquity, a new study, “Haughey’s Fort:  A Major Complex of Power, Production, and Ritual in Late Bronze Age Europe,” combines Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology, geophysical survey, targeted excavation, and archival analysis to reassess the surrounding landscape adjacent to Haughey’s Fort. The site is a Bronze Age hillfort near Armagh, Northern Ireland, established around 1200 BC, centuries before the nearby Navan Fort emerged as the ceremonial capital of ancient Ulster.

A Hub of Craftsmanship, Trade, and Power 

The research, led by Dr. James O’Driscoll, University of Glasgow, and Dr. Patrick Gleeson, Queen’s University, Belfast, has transformed archaeologists’ understanding of the site, revealing evidence of more than 200 timber structures within the hillfort, including several unusually large circular buildings that likely served ceremonial or social functions, shedding light on the community’s organization and rituals.
