Keshcorran Mountain & The Caves Of Kesh
Keshcorran is the highest hill in the Bricklieve/Curlew area and the 894th highest in Ireland. Keshcorran is the most northerly summit in the Bricklieve/Curlew area and also the most westerly.
Keshcorran Mountain is capped by a large un-opened cairn, known as the pinnacle, which can be seen from many parts of Co. Sligo. 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.

Mud & magic inside the spectacular Caves of Kesh in Co.Sligo
In a previous video, I showed the cave of Uaigh na gCat in Roscommon. You might recall its entrance as being little more than a hole in the ground.
The Caves of Kesh (near Ballinafad, Co.Sligo) couldn't be more different.
13 or 14 grand arched entrances fill one entire side of a prominent hill. They really are quite spectacular, both to look at and a vantage point from which to view the surrounding landscape.
A few narrow and confined passages run about 40 to 50 metres inside the mountain. I crawled in as far as I could and got truely smothered in mud. But it was worth it. There are some nice caverns inside.
These caves do have one thing in common with Uaigh na gCat. They were also held by our ancestors to be a gateway to the underworld.
There is a legend that Fionn MacCumhaill had to come here to rescue some damsel or other from various old hags. All good fun, I am sure.

Standing with Stones is a remarkable and unprecedented documentary film that takes the viewer beyond Stonehenge on an incredible journey of discovery that reveals the true wealth and extent of Neolithic and Bronze Age Britain & Ireland.
If you ever wondered what it would be like to travel the length and breadth of the British Isles, visiting the most intriguing and enigmatic monuments that our ancestors left us, from Cornwall through England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland to the outer reaches of the Hebrides and Orkney, then you will love this film.
Described by one magazine reviewer as A stunning study of standing stones. A work of art. (Forten Times), this is no amateur travelogue. Written and presented by writer and explorer Rupert Soskin and shot and edited by broadcast producer Michael Bott, this film is a stunningly beautiful and absorbing two and a quarter hour tour of our ancient heritage in the company of an engaging and knowledgable host - the journey of a lifetime.

Queen Maeve's Tomb - Knocknarea - County Sligo - Ireland
Tombe de la Reine Maeve - Knocknarea - Comté de Sligo - Irlande
Coordonnées GPS: 54°16'13.5N 8°35'05.4W (stationnement)
Il s'agit en fait d'un cairn préhistorique situé au sommet de la montagne Knocknarea .
Ce cairn est un gigantesque amas de pierres de plus de 10 m de hauteur. Celui-ci renferme une tombe.
Une légende raconte que ce serait la tombe de la reine Maeve, célèbre personnage de la mythologie irlandaise.
Pour s'y rendre, il existe deux sentiers. Nous avons opté pour le plus facile puisque des marches et des passerelles ont été érigées afin de faciliter l'ascension vers le sommet de la montagne.
Semble-t-il que l'autre sentier serait plus abrupt et glissant.
Cependant, facile ne veut pas dire que le sommet est aisément accessible. Il s'agit en fait d'une randonnée d'environ 2 heures aller-retour. La montée est constante.
Lors de notre passage, le brouillard était très dense et le vent était visiblement déchaîné. Cela ne nous a aucunement empêché de poursuivre la montée jusqu'au sommet.
Par temps clair, le panorama est tout simplement splendide. Au sommet, le brouillard était tellement dense que l'on s'y perdait dedans.
Lors de notre retour, le brouillard s'était plutôt dissipé à la base, nous permettant ainsi d'avoir le plaisir de découvrir de magnifiques lieux.
