Wink, it's Portland, the isle of the Slingers. It's in the south of England. Myself, AArdvark and David Morningstar  did a pilgrimage there. Nowhere near Wales.

Badger, That is one trip I wished I could have gone on Sad

Actually I was posting in regards to this sentence

"that disappeared in other parts of the British isles with the Roman conquest and the end of hillfort cultures ? "

Don't be so fast to jump to conclusions just because you read it. Look where it is coming from. A guy from the Clan WALLACE society. (As in William Wallace). A light should have just gone on now. Of course he is going to try and make the Scots look good. What are HIS sources??
