Knocknaree
near Sligo town is the place where Queen Meave of Connaught is Buried.
Her tomb is marked by a huge Cairn of stones on the summit of Knocknaree
mountain and can be seen for miles in all directions. The Cairn is
10 meters high and about 60 meters in diameter and the views from
the mountain top are spectacular. More of Queen Meave can be read
in the pages containing the story of
The
Tain, the Cattle raid of Cooley where Meave tries to capture
the Brown Bull from the men of
Ulster
and
Cu
Chulainn. |
