I need someone who is familiar with Celtic/Irish stuff

[Palaiologos]

A question for all you people:

Did druids build temples?

I mean ACTUAL temples with stone walls and corridors, not some wilderness gathering.
I am refering to post-Roman brittain(that is after 410A.D).

I suppose that Graico-Roman civilization must have had an influence on their ritual practises.


I am only asking because i just read a story by Robert Howard in which the barbarian heroes upon encountering a building were pretty sure it was a druidic temple.

And that puzzled me.

Yup, there are a lot of evidences about wells, sacrificial spots, and celtic "nemeton", or sacred fence, which divided the sacred soil from the common one - even here in Italy.

Regular temples were builded after greco-roman's cultural contacts.

Must have something about Ireland... just gimme time to check.
