Slieve Gullion

The mountain of Slieve Gullion is mentioned many many times in the ancient Irish battle epic, the Táin Bó Cuailnge, as Sliabh Cuilinn. There is a lake at the top of the mountain, known as the “Lake of Sorrow”, or the Calliag Bheara’s lake. There are two cairns either side of the lake.
