Built 3200 years ago: an old castle hiding behind trees in an Irish park (photo)

The ancient castle, whose age is estimated at several thousand years, was discovered in a popular park in Ireland. Archaeologist Michael Gibson discovered a Bronze Age artifact in County Galway. Recently, the age and origin of this structure have been determined. Reported by The Mirror.

Along the castle’s borders are seasonal lakes unique to Ireland. As they filled with water, the fort became almost impregnable for enemies planning to attack it.

It is believed that the building was built about 3200 years ago on the territory of modern Kul Park. Until recently, the age of the structure and its date of origin were unknown.

With the help of LiDAR equipment, archaeologists have obtained evidence that the fortress emerged most likely between 800 and 1200 BC, that is, 2800-3200 years ago.

It is known that there are many workshops dealing with metalworking and producing quality works inside the castle.

In ancient times, people made great efforts to build this structure.

“We are still studying the stones of the earthen walls of this community, a large amount of information has not yet been examined,” said Sean O’Costilba, general manager of this project.

The scale of the building shows that hundreds of people worked on it.

Recall that archaeologists found a bottomless treasure trove of artifacts at Saqqara. On May 29, the sixth consecutive excavation season in Egypt came to an end. Among the finds discovered are tombs, mummification tools and other artifacts.

They also reportedly discovered the oldest house of the Iron Age, more than 3,000 years old, in Athens.
