Explorer Tom Barrow in Tullintuppeen was the stage for a fiddler who played all night until the cows came home. It’s a big circular bank on a slope, looking like it’s been waiting for an encore for centuries. No entrance is visible, so you have to guess where the magic happens. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.

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 · 1.8 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.
