What is recorded here

Marked as a circular copse on the 1837 and 1914 eds of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a slight rise in a low-lying landscape. It is in full view of Mantua House, an Italinate mansion of the early 19th century now in ruins, c. 650m to the NNW. This is a circular area (diam. c. 75m) with mature deciduous trees and scrub defined by an earthen bank (at W: Wth 3.3m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.6m) and an outer fosse (at W: Wth of base 1.5m; D 0.8m). The wood has extended to a larger triangular area (dims c. 200m N-S; c. 180m E-W at S) with the tree-ring at its S edge.

Queen Medb: RathcroghanLegend location · 2.6 mi

Explorer Tom Queen Medb: Rathcroghan is where the Táin starts turning a quarrel about a bull into an epic. Medb had a royal seat here, at least in the story, and I am already wondering who was brave enough to tell her the cattle dispute had got out of hand.

Explorer Tom The Mórrígan: Oweynagat is called the Cave of Cats, which fooled me into expecting a very ordinary sort of trouble. Then the tale sends the Mórrígan out of it during the Táin. If the cats saw her coming, I bet they made room.
