Loughcrew Cairns (also known as Loughcrew Passage Tombs,
Megalithic Cementary or
Sliabh na Callaighe (Mountain of the Witch) is a truly magical place.
According to the website "Sliabh na Callaighe is the Irish name for the hills and it translates to “Mountain of the Witch”. The story goes that to rule over all of Ireland the Hag (or witch) had to complete a feat of enormous strength. She had to leap from hill to hill with stones in her apron. As she jumped from peak to peak she dropped a handful of stones. These stones became the cairns. On her final jump, to make her mistress over all of Ireland, she broke her neck and was buried under the stones on the side of the hill."
