Origins
The area within the modern boundaries of the Greater Daurmont Alderdom has been inhabited continuously for several millennia. Situated upon the River Isling (Anguistian An Uísliað or Greywater), present-day Daurmont emerged from the ancient Anguistian communities of Baíle an hUíslaed on the river and the massive hill fort at Ard-na Daír-mór or Height of Great Oak in reference to its massive oaken walls.
After the seizure of the area by the Anglo-Frisians, the communities retained their names albeit in a much altered form. The destroyed hill fort of Ard-na Daír-mór became Daúrmúnd or the Ardent Protector of the village on the river, Isling. Upon this protector, successive local Anglo-Frisian kings built their own forts, culminating in Heringhof Castle (Anglo-Frisian Court of the Host, present-day Herncourt Castle), the first royal residence.
