Are there other things out there (not necessarily of a religious nature) that might be appropriate to a game set in Celtic lands? I'm aware of some of the round farmhouses. I'm thinking about some menhirs for scatter terrain. I suppose Celtic farmers might have kept their cattle, sheep, and chickens in pens of various sorts. Just looking for some terrain items, either large pieces or scatter terrain that say "Celts." Grelber |

A wicker man? (nb possibly Roman propaganda, but certainly says "Celt" to your average passerby…) |

Alternative Armies have a Celtic fantasy range that includes scatter terrain. Might be something for you there. |

A crannog says Celts specifically. A building on stilts over water maybe a sacred site, maybe for defence. Chickens weren't widespread before the Roman empire. Geese are more likely to be kept. |

Remember that they were farmers. Small fields, maybe with low stone walls (built with stone cleared from the fields). |

The only identifiably Celtic terrain I have is some round houses and a circle of megaliths (both from Forged in Battle). But I think that's plenty – most stuff you'd find in Celtic lands wouldn't be identifiably Celtic. |

And even the circle of megaliths were created long before the Celts … |
