Cruachan / Cruachain (Rathmore)
Cruachan is traditionally said to be the inauguration place of the Kings of Connacht. There are a number of monuments spread over an area of about two square miles. These include a large mound, a number of differently-shaped enclosures and some ring-forts. One of these contains a standing stone alleged to mark the resting place of the last pagan king of Ireland.
De réir an tseanchais is ag Cruachain a dhéantaí Ríthe Chonnacht a ghairm. Tá roinnt séadchomharthaí scaipthe ar fud achar dhá mhíle chearnacha. Orthu seo tá tulach mhór, roinnt clós nach ionann cruth dóibh agus líon áirithe ráthanna. Tá gallán laistigh de cheann díobh seo agus deirtear gurbh é seo ionad adhlachta rí págánach deireanach ne hÉireann.
