• Early Irish poetry, Dinnshenchas Érenn, Dinnshenchas

Tract on the dinnshenchas of Carraic Lethdeirg. The place has not been identified, apparently a “stronghold on some lake or seashore” (Gwynn). Roland M. Smith suggests that the name may refer to “Carrick on the shore of Lough Ennell” (Carrick on the Shannon).
