There's a similar structure in Dowth Ireland built by the Celts, it's around 4500yrs old, pre-dating Stonehenge by quite a few yrs, it even pre-dates the Pyramids, I assumed the present day English are more decended from the Saxons and Normans, but you may be right, I'm often wrong John;)Quote:

Since the Celts only moved into the UK about 450BC, it is hardly likely to have been built by them!Quote:

In more modern times it applied to the Spanish invasion of many south and central American countries, but not to either the US or Canada.

Not really any such race as the 'Celts'. It's just an umbrella term for a load of different people who migrated across Europe in the middle and late iron ages.Quote:
