#FairyTaleTuesday #Celtic: `The site of Abhartach’s supposed resting place is still pointed out today. There’s a large stone-covered mound beneath a hawthorn tree in Slaghtaverty, often called the “Giant’s Grave.” Though archaeologists identify it as a prehistoric tomb, local folklore insists that it holds the remains of the undead chieftain.
Stories persist that bad luck follows anyone who disturbs the site. Farmers who tried to move stones, or meddle with the thorn tree, were said to have suffered accidents soon after.`
