Short on time today so just a quick post on a few
items. There was a recent announcement
of a huge find in County Fermanagh in the UK. Apparently while doing
highway construction, workers stumbled upon a crannog in Northern Ireland, the
first found in the last 50 years. 30
houses have been uncovered and the area appears to have been inhabited from the
6th century to the 17th century and may be older. So far they’ve only found domestic items, including bone handled knives, but I’ve put in a request to
them to find out if anything of a more military nature may have been
found. The area has been used for 11
centuries so one would hope. Story is
found here.
I also stumbled upon a recently opened site mapping in
detail the bombs that hit London during the London Blitz with information covering the bomb census of October 7, 1940 to
June 6, 1941. I realized the bombing
was pretty intense but to see it mapped out this way is quite eye-opening and a
bit frightening. The map can be found here.
