  1. Leaba Dhiarmuda agus Gráinne

    Share Share Post
    There is an old Cromlech at the southern end of Sliabh Callan near the Hand Road. It consists of three large flags about (-) feet long and (-) feet wide and (-) inches thick.
    Two flags stand on edge and the third lies flat on the top of them in the form of a gullet.
    When Diarmuid and Gráine were fleeing from Fionn they came to this spot. Diarmuid carried two of the flags, one under each arm and Gráine carried the other "in her apron". There is a no writing or sign of fire on them.
    Some say it is "Leaba Éirighe na Gréine", as this is the highest point of the hill where their "god", the Sun, used to be seen first in the morning.
