Celtic Symbols, Heavy Fortification: A Castro Way of Life
The triskele, a Celtic symbol made up of spirals, and often found in Celtic decorative art, was the first artifact found, buried in the rubble of a collapsed circular structure. These symbols were commonly associated with ritual saunas in Castro communities in religious and purification ceremonies, dated to the 3rd and 4th centuries BC.
