A half hour episode of "The Lost Gods," produced by Tile Films and written and presented by Christy Kenneally, exploring what the series' own distributor describes as the Celts' belief in "benign spirits and demonic forces," a religion that built no churches or temples because nature itself served as its cathedral. The episode follows early Celtic settlement in Central Europe and its later emergence in Wales and Ireland, visiting Castell Henllys in Wales, where druidic religious practice gave way to Roman military conquest, and the sites of Newgrange, Ferrycarraig and Dun Aengus in Ireland, tracing how the Celts came to adopt the gods of the peoples who had preceded them there.
