They came to Ireland 2600 years ago. They lived in promtary and hill forts. The houses or crannogs were built on islands for safety. They had secret stepping stones and draw bridges to get to the island. They also had secret passages under the crannogs called souterrain where they stored food and hid from their enemies. A tribe or clan lived in a crannog. They were the first people to discover Ireland. Women were considered better warriors than men and most of the time they were the leaders.
