I'm no Ellery Queen, but a shaft 120 feet deep? Sounds like a water well to me. If any remains were found at the bottom, I'd suspect they was murdered and chucked down it when no one else was looking !
Or were our ancestors above such shenanigans?

Placement was too carefully postured in the one's Ive read about. Most were animal and votive offerings. Bones and carvings. Most didnt have the tree. I remember another book saying they weren't used as wells, but can't remember why they knew this now. If I google without "celtic" with just shaft burials, I'm getting links to other cultures too.

I dont mind a bit of artistic licence, as long as it's stated that's what it is. A "perhaps" or "maybe" thrown into some books might have saved me a lot of bother.
