Cenel Conaill And The Donegal Kingdom (AD 500-800)
€ 50.00
|
Perched high atop a narrow isthmus, the Grianán Ailig strategically guards the great northern waterways of Lough Foyle and Lough Swilly. On a clear day, it commands a panoramic view in all directions; in particular, the southwestern prospect extends more than 35 miles, clean through the famed Bernas Mór gap in the Blue Stack Mountains, to the cobalt waters of Donegal Bay. This massive stone cashel may have been built shortly after the pivotal battle of Clóitech in 789, both to create a more impressive caput for Cenél nEógain and to celebrate its decisive victory over archrival Cenél Conaill for supremacy of the territory known today as County Donegal.
