Caves  of  Keash

Keshcorran Mountain is capped by a large un-opened cairn, known as the pinnacle. Seventeen caves are located on the western side of the mountain. The hill and it's surroundings feature in a number of legendary tales including a story that tells of the birth of Cormac Mac Art.

Cormac Mac Art was the most famous of the legendary kings of Ireland and was born at a well beneath the caves. His mother had given birth to him while trying to escape from Lughaidh Mac Conn who had killed her husband. While they lay sleeping baby Cormac was carried off by a wolf whose den was in a cave now known as Cormac's cave. Cormac was discovered years later playing on all fours outside the caves with wolf cubs. Cormac went on to become a famous High King of Ireland.
