Cú Chulainn is thought to be one of Ireland’s greatest heroes. He was a dangerous warrior to friends and foes; with supernatural powers, Celtic weapons, and a ferocious hound at his disposal. He is said to have died in battle defending the Ulster province. According to folklore, he resided in the slopes of Slieve Gullion.
