Just off the S-facing crest of a broad E-W drumlin ridge. Subcircular grass-covered area (dims c. 50m E-W; 44.8m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.7m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.7m) SW-NW and a scarp (H 0.7-0.9m) elsewhere. A field wall is built on the perimeter NW-NE, and quarries damage the edge NE-SSE. There is no visible fosse or identifiable entrance.

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.

The Mórrígan: OweynagatLegend location · 3.3 mi

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.
