An Irish creation myth claims that this fortress Grianán Ailigh (Grianan of Aileach) was built by the great king Daghda of Tuatha de Danann. The grave of the king’s son Aeah was in the centre of the fortress, which had been built around it. Whether such a grave existed is unknown; there are no archaeological remains, although a nearby tumulus could be a grave marker.
