Description This grave is called Calliagh Berras' House located on the top of slieve gullion mountain named after a legendary witch who could change into a hare. In one story, the Cailleach told Fionn she had dropped a ring in a lake and pleaded with him to dive in and fetch it from the bottom for her. In doing so, he was bewitched and when he came out of the water with the ring, his blond locks had turned to the grey hair of an old man.

I think I might have married her. The story feels very familiar.
