Táin Bó Cúailnge
The legends of Cú Chulainn, including the "Táin Bó Cúailnge" (The Cattle Raid of Cooley), an epic of early Irish literature, are set in the first century AD, before the arrival of Christianity to Ireland. "Clochafarmore", the menhir that Cú Chulainn reputedly tied himself to before he died, is located to the west of the town, near Knockbridge.
