As Diarmuid and Gráinne fled from the great warrior Fionn Mac Comhaill, they hid in forests and caves, journeying throughout the island over years to escape the jealous, ageing Fionn. We’re told that they spent a night hiding in a cave in the Sliabh Luachra area. We believe this to be Crag Cave.
In our personal rendition, Crag Cave itself has honoured their love by forming an evocative stalagmite.
The location of Diarmuid and Gráinne’s cave is steeped in mythology itself but perhaps there’s still a little magic left in Castleisland?
