A Rosetta Stone for the Prehistoric Solar Calendar? Kerbstone K15 at Knowth, Ireland

An analysis of the K15 stone. This is useful in gathering a degree of understanding in what was understood in the era and how that information was disseminated between people and over generations.

Celtic Culture: A Historical Encyclopaedia

Written by Koch, John T. 2005 CE; This is an academic source in particular used with regards to the link or relationship between modern, old and proto variants of names and there meanings.

Celtic Democracy: Appreciating the Role Played by Alliances and Elections in Celtic Political Systems

Anecdotal information regarding Celtic governance

Encyclopaedia of Indo-European Culture

Written by Mallory, J.P. and D.Q. Adams 1997 CE; This is an academic source in particular used with regards to the link or relationship between modern, old and proto variants of names and there meanings.

Etymology of the months (English, Irish, Scots Gaelic, Manx and Welsh)

Used to remove the Roman and Christian names by looking at the names of the months used by other related cultures.

Geography

Written (Originally) by Claudius Ptolemy in Greek at Alexandria circa 150 CE. This body of work is an atlas, treatise on cartography and gazetteer compiling the geographical knowledge of the 2nd century Roman-Empire.

In particular it is a useful set of place names and annotations that can be used to link folk information with information we know to be known be people of the early era seeing that this work was compiled in the early era and is well studied today.

Note the original does not survive so current versions are adulterated from that original information but the source is from the correct period and seemingly reasonably intact.

Lebor Gabála Érenn

"The Book of the Taking of Ireland" also known as "The Book of Invasions"

This is a text of deliberate miss information Many sources treat this as "historical" or at least accurate folklore. It is however a complete fabrication in the same guise as other pseudo-historical works from the Christian efforts of the middle ages. It is assumed the content is in some level derived from an underlying folklore though it is understood that the intent of the work is to supplant the indigenous culture and tie the heritage of the population to a Christian friendly origin both chronologically and heretically. This work is a compilation or works starting as early as 800 CE and reaching its final form around 1100 CE

This work is based on similar works such as

  • St Augustine's De Civitate Cei 413-426 CE

  • Orosius' Historiae Adversum Pagano 417 CE

  • Eusebius' Chronicon translated to Temporum liber 379 CE

  • Isidore of Seville's Etymologia or Originies from around 600 CE

Neolithic and Bronze Age migration to Ireland and establishment of the insular Atlantic genome

A genetic study used to understand the rough time frames and populations related to the era of lore we are researching.

Old Irish Online

Academic resource from the University of Texas at Austin Linguistics Research Centre

Proto-Celtic -- English lexicon

A research article found on www.wales.ac.uk associating English terms with Proto-Celtic terms.

Ptolemy's map of Ireland: a modern decoding

From R. Darcy & William Flynn 2008 CE; this is a review of Geography by Claudius Ptolemy attempting to reconcile location names as described by the 2nd century Roman with the modern day Irish map.

An assessment of the geomatical and astronomical achievements of prehistoric Britain

An essay looking at the examples of knowledge known for Neolithic and early bronze age peoples in north Europe including Ireland.
