TRANSCRIPT
The Celts were a tribe
who originally came
from Europe about two
thousand years agoAround 500BC the Celts
settled in Ireland, Wales,
Scotland and the Isle of
Man
There were two types of houses (a round house or a crannóg )
A crannóg was a type of enclosure built on either natural or artificial islands on rivers or lakes that could only be reached by a footbridge
A round house is circular and made of either wickerwork, wood or stone with a thatched roof
The houses would have been somewhere between six to twenty feet in diameter
Clothes were made from wool and dyed with natural vegetable dyes, plants or berries
Women wore dresses or skirts that were normally floor length
Men normally wore tunics, they were a simple T shape and worn at any length from knee to ankle
Jewellery was worn a lot by the Celts, the wealthier Celts wore a lot of gold and silver
Torcs were invented by the Celts and were worn by many Celts
There were no supermarkets when the Celts lived, so they went hunting to get their food
They used quern stones to grind oats into oat flakesThe quern stone was a Celtic invention and you
could make many things using the quern stone including porridge and bread
Most Celts had a small number of animals, the more animals you had the more popularity you had
Many fights and battles were caused because of people stealing each others animals
The animals were normally kept in a pen outside but at night the owners would bring them inside
Cows were their favourite type of animal because it produces milk and it has a lot of meat on it
This picture shows where the animals sleep at night
The Celts made many great
inventions, some we still use
todaySome of their inventions
included= soap, the fiddle,
the bagpipe, the Celtic harp,
the long bow and Irish linen
The Celts also made many
great fairy tales that are still
talked about now and will
hopefully be talked about for
many more years to come
Celts often battled to extend their land and have more powerWhen the Men left to go to warrior training the Women would help with the farming and do most of the jobs that the Men would doWhen the Celts were in battle they sometimes put lime into their hair which made their hair very blondBefore long the Celts became rich and most of their enemies had either fled, been killed or joined the Celts huge armySoon there was nobody to fight except from their selves so they started to battle against each others clan
