Grianan
Ailigh
Has been the focal point for human activity for thousands
of years. The spectacular view from the summit made
it an ideal spot from which to overlook the lands and
waters below.
The great stone cashel which gave Grianan Ailigh its
name is said to have been built by the Tuatha De Danann
God, and king of Ireland "The Dagda (or good god)
to mark or protect the grave of his son Aedh. Nuada
of the silver Hand who fought Balor of the Evil Eye
was brought here for a royal burial so legend says.
Here also lie the sleeping Warriors waiting for the
call to arms of the Ui Neill.
There are many more stories, myths and legends once
only known to a few which are now revealed to all that
visit.
