He had earlier been spirited away to Donaghadee, a town in Co. This story, as translated by Doncha Ó Conchúir in the video (right), explains the ridges and furrows created when Mór was walking the hills near her house on a visit to Donn, her husband. 6 There is another folkloric tradition of Mór, different from that related above by Westropp. Archaeologists understand this as an earthen bank, around 30 meters (98 feet) in diameter, with traces of an internal fosse, perhaps a ritual enclosure from the early Bronze Age. In the hills above Tigh Mhóire is another monument, the Ditch (or Dike) of Mór, associated with the same legendary personage. Local author Doncha Ó Conchúir retells stories of Mór (1980).
It contains what may be a prehistoric tomb, a fragment of an early cross-slab, and Uaigh an Spannigh (the Spanish Grave), reputedly the grave of Prince d’Ascoli, son of Phillip II of Spain, lost in a shipwreck of the Spanish Armada of 1588. Tigh Mhóire has been described an “an ancient burial ground,” 4 but it may also be a calluragh, an old cemetery for unbaptized infants. In the tale she is undoubtedly a rain-cloud heroine.” 3 She had three sons, and grew wealthy, and lived at ‘Tivorye’ (Teach Mhoire) hut or dolmen. “The site is very noble, with its beautiful outlook along the great brown and purple hunks of Mount Eagle and Marhin, and across the fierce currents of the Sound, and southward from the Blaskets to the peaks of Skellig…A legend of the Head tells how Mor, wife of Lear, landed at Dunmore Head, her husband going to the North. Westropp noted the ruins and one of the legends: Hotspots will allow you to explore the scene from four different positions. 2 Her home in Dún Chaoin is visible behind the old stones of Tigh Mhóire in the virtual-reality environment (left). Peig Sayers, who wrote of her life on nearby Great Blasket Island where she moved after her marriage, was once required reading for every student in Ireland. This unexcavated and largely undocumented ancient monument in the hills outside the village of Dún Chaoin (Dunquin) is connected in folklore with two different legends of powerful women. "About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.It was no accident of geography that Peig Sayers choose to place Tigh Mhóire (Mór’s House) within the first paragraph of her autobiography. 'Peig' is among the most famous expressions of a late Gaelic Revival genre of personal histories by and about inhabitants of the Blasket Islands and other remote Irish locations. Sayers's autobiography was dictated to her son Micheál and published in 1936. Sayers is most famous for her autobiography, 'Peig ' she also recounted folklore and other stories which were recorded in Machnamh Seanmhná: An Old Woman's Reflections. She is buried in the Dún Chaoin Burial Ground, Corca Dhuibhne, Ireland. She was moved to a hospital in An Daingean, Co. She continued to live on the island until 1953, when the island was abandoned due to declining population. She moved to the Great Blasket Island after marrying Pádraig Ó Guithín, a fisherman and native of the island. She spent much of her early life as a domestic servant working for members of the growing middle class produced by the Land War.
Seán Ó Súilleabháin, the former archivist for the Irish Folklore Commission, described her as "one of the greatest woman storytellers of recent times." Peig Sayers (1873-1958) was born in Dún Chaoin, County Kerry, Ireland.
