WHAT IS THIS YOU’VE FOUND?
In the Shadows of the great Meeting House, you have discovered an odd-shaped bit of stone. With a little cleaning up, it appears to be a small figure of a man. More specifically, it seems to be a Druid or a Bard. You can tell he is a person of importance by the torque about his neck. The harp he is carrying leads me to believe he is more of the bardic sort. Bards and Druids were high-status positions within the Celtic tribal structure. Their rank was second only to the King or Righ ("Rix", in Gaul).
This little fellow may have adorned a marker post in front of one of the cottages, identifying the person who lived there. In a society which had no written language to speak of, such markers would have been an effective way to find who you were looking for.
