Nua-#CelticSoulJourney in #Ireland: `The Irish spelling of Cashelmanannan is Caiseal Mhanannán, which means Manannan’s Fort, referring to a deity from Irish mythology, Manannán mac Lir. These are the foundation remains of a trivallate oval stone fort, with three closely spaced concentric banks of earth and stone measuring an average of 1.5 m in width each. The internal diameter measures 40 m with the external measurements being 57 m north/south and 63 m east/west. Attached to the main enclosure on the north and east sides are two rectangular enclosures, each defined by a singular bank. The exact use of Cashelmanannan is unknown, as excavation has not taken place, but the fact that it is the only structure in the complex built of stone suggests a high-status building with good defensive features.`

Nua-#CelticSoulJourney in #Ireland: `Rath na dTarbh means 'Fort of the bulls' in English. West of Rathcroghan mound is a large circular ring fort with a considerable bank and external ditch. There are several breaks in the bank, one at the north east being a possible entrance. This is traditionally the site of the fight between the bulls Donn Cuailnge and Finnbennach at the end of the epic Táin Bó Cúailnge.`

Nua-#CelticSoulJourney in #Ireland: Loch Corrib is a corruption of Loch Oirbsean. According to placename lore, this refers to Oirbsen or Oirbsiu—another name for Manannán mac Lír. In Irish, the lough is also called An Choirib ("the Corrib").
