10 Tuatha Dé Danaan at the Paps Of
Tuatha Dé Danaan at the Paps of Anu? Some Thoughts on a Rainy Day. • Anu of Persia in Duhallow barony (North West, County Cork)? The blood claw ( Crobh Dearg, red claw) as the blood flow of a wound to the god/ goddess’s side after a battle, the blood flow as a claw sprawling to a holy well and a place called ‘the city’ i.e. a drystone built enclosure similar to a ringfort at Shrone on the northern side of the mountain and becoming three lesser goddesses. The goddess fallen to create the geomorphology of the landscape of South West Ireland? Her paps as two mountain peaks with a pre-historical burial cairn on each of them? Anu as the mythical mother of irish goddesses. The mother of Ériu, Banba and Fódhla? In Persian mythology is Anu a male figure and chief god and god of the sky, his children being lesser gods? Or can this god be both male and female - or male in one place while female in another? What association, if any, is there with a triad of goddesses in Persian mythology? In Irish mythology was a triad of lesser goddesses in the Sliabh Luachra district, beneath the Paps of Anu mountain-scape, to become christianised into three female saints Lasair, Latiaran, Ingen Buidhe? How might they have come to be understood in later times as the sisters of an Anglo-Saxon prince nearby named Saint Berihert? Did a triad of women bearing these names exist as nuns / holy women in the civil parishes of Cullen and Drishane in the 7th century AD? • There is a very interesting account of the folklore and history of the landscape of the Paps of Anu called The City and the Paps of Anu (Rathmore, Co.

List of Irish Mountain Passes
List of Irish Mountain Passes The following document is a list of mountain passes and similar features extracted from the gazetteer, Irish Landscape Names. Please consult the full document (also available at Mountain Views) for the abbreviations of sources, symbols and conventions adopted. The list was compiled during the month of June 2020 and comprises more than eighty Irish passes and cols, including both vehicular passes and pedestrian saddles. There were thousands of features that could have been included, but since I intended this as part of a gazetteer of place-names in the Irish mountain landscape, I had to be selective and decided to focus on those which have names and are of importance to walkers, either as a starting point for a route or as a way of accessing summits. Some heights are approximate due to the lack of a spot height on maps. Certain features have not been categorised as passes, such as Barnesmore Gap, Doo Lough Pass and Ballaghaneary because they did not fulfil geographical criteria for various reasons which are explained under the entry for the individual feature. They have, however, been included in the list as important features in the mountain landscape.

2 Iffa and Offa Including Comments on Lios Versus Rath
Iffa and Offa including comments on Lios versus Ráth. [ needs some editing!] Iffa and Offa were once two distinct baronies i.e. barony is a concept of land divisioning which derives from the 12th century Norman Conquest. After the conquest these two baronies were united into one. The sizes and shapes of baronies changed over time due to various forms of land transactions. How large were the baronies of Iffa and Offa originally? What were these land areas prior to the Norman Conquest? Were they clan or tribelands with distinct identities? What local Irish nobilities had them as patrimonies before the advent of the Normans? Were they the clan lands of two peoples called Uíbh (Uí) Eoghain and Uíbh (Uí) Fhathaidh? The known distribution for souterrains fro counties Tipperary and Limerick are to a large extent in South Tipperary north of the Suir river i.e. Iffa and Offa, and in South East County Limerick with some of Tipperary’s Clanwilliam barony above it. The Limerick distribution is focussed in the barony of Coshlea spreading north into Small County barony. In this area of the county are the Galtee Mountains, Sliabh Reagh, The Harps of Cliu, Cush (site of an early Christian settlement on a Bronze Age cemetery) and Knockainey site of an ancient aonach (festival). The distribution spreads across lands which contain the above and the distribution spreads eastwards to the eastern foothills of the Galtee Mountains. Below the Galtees lie the Knockmealdown Mountains in the plain of the Golden Vale. This district where four counties meet i.e.

This text may be archived and redistributed both in electronic form and in hard copy, provided that the author and journal are properly cited and no fee is charged for access. Abstract. This paper will study the case of the stone enclosure of Cathair Crobh Dearg, Co. Kerry (also referred to as the City) and Dá Chích Anann (or the Paps of Anu), the twin mountains that can be seen from the enclosure. The site is mentioned in ancient mythological texts as well as more modern accounts in connection with the Irish festival of Bealtaine, in early May. The author relied on archaeological evidence, an analysis of ancient documents, a number of manuscripts from the Irish National Folklore Collection, as well as personal visits to the site in order to try and understand the nature, and possibly origin, of both contemporary rituals and ancient beliefs. Key Words. Folklore, Mythology, Bealtaine, Cathair Crobh Dearg, Paps of Anu, Holy Well. Resumen. En este artículo se investiga el recinto de piedra de Cathair Crobh Deargh, en el Condado de Kerry (también conocido como “The City”) y Dá Chích Anann (o “The Paps of Anu”), las montañas gemelas que se distinguen desde dicho emplazamiento. El lugar se menciona en antiguos textos mitológicos así como en escritos más recientes en relación con la festividad irlandesa de Bealtaine, que se celebra a principios de mayo.

Fieldtrip Reflections: Sliabh Luachra and Corca Dhuibhne Daithí Kearney and Michelle Finnerty1
Fieldtrip reflections: Sliabh Luachra and Corca Dhuibhne Daithí Kearney and Michelle Finnerty1 For the past four years, students participating in the Early Start „Music in Ireland‟ programme at University College Cork2 have undertaken a fieldtrip to Sliabh Luachra and Corca Dhuibhne to explore the musical heritage of the area and the connections between music, place and society. This year the students departed on Saturday 4th September, accompanied by fieldtip co-ordinator Dr. Daithí Kearney. The students come from a number of North American universities and have limited prior experience of and exposure to Irish culture. The following article is a reflection on the fieldtrip and provides an insight into the rich musical heritage of Cork and Kerry. As we pulled away from UCC, we headed towards Blarney. The imposing grotto at Shanakiel reminded students of the role of religion in Irish society, a point reinforced as we travelled many of the country roads that presented not only grottos, many of which dated from the Marion Year in 1954, but also the sites of former dance halls, many of which relate to the passing of the 1935 Dance Halls Act. As we drove towards Mallow, the students availed of the opportunity to enjoy the rolling green hills and listen to examples of music from Cork and Kerry. The music included recordings of Jackie Daly and Séamus Creagh. Later in the journey we listened to recordings of Sliabh Luachra fiddle players Pádraig O‟Keeffe, Denis Murphy and Julia Clifford. To the north of Mallow is the village of Buttevant, the location of the first steeplechase in 1752 and from where, according to local legend, Napoleon‟s horse „Marengo‟ came (bought from a Kerryman!).

Irish Hill and Mountain Names
Irish Hill and Mountain Names The following document is extracted from the database used to prepare the list of peaks included on the ‘Summits’ section and other sections at www.mountainviews.ie The document comprises the name data and key geographical data for each peak listed on the website as of May 2010, with some minor changes and omissions. The geographical data on the website is more comprehensive. The data was collated over a number of years by a team of volunteer contributors to the website. The list in use started with the 2000ft list of Rev. Vandeleur (1950s), the 600m list based on this by Joss Lynam (1970s) and the 400 and 500m lists of Michael Dewey and Myrddyn Phillips. Extensive revision and extra data has been accepted from many MV contributors including Simon Stewart, Brian Ringland, Paul Donnelly, John FitzGerald, Denise Jacques, Colin Dalton, Brendan O'Reilly, Mark Brennan, myself and others. I have been gathering the place-name data and other information presented in columns 2-4 from 2004 onwards, and some changes have also been made to the anglicised forms given in column 1 as a result of this research. The anglicised forms are taken from the highest available authority, namely the Placenames Branch (An Brainse Logainmneacha), followed the Ordnance Survey maps. In the vast majority of cases, these are in agreement, but there are occasional differences, and some typographical errors occur on the 1:50,000 maps. A different anglicised form from that shown in these official sources has been adopted only in exceptional cases, which mainly fall into two categories.
