Were they all built in a circle?

Were the houses built in a circle. What else could I be refering to? Knucklehead. You can't build archaeologists or workers. This was from a news article on the internet a few hours ago.

Yes, it's true. You have to remember that the Druids were the primary culture/religion at the time. Since their primary tenet was the worship of trees and shrubs (reformed only) it only makes sense that they would design and construct their houses and villages in a concentric pattern. Like the trees that they worshiped.

Much stock and meaning was placed upon the growth rings of trees. As such, they developed their communities accordingly.

It wasn't until the Celts moved in that they abandoned this form of civic design.

That was, of course, followed by the Romans that brought with them the Roman Arch.

I think it was Nero ( I could be wrong) that declared "No more of that round s***" . Something may have been lost in the translation, but you get the drift.

I hope this helps in your quest for knowledge.
