Magh Tuiredh
In Irish mythology, Magh Tuiredh (Mag Tuired, Magh Tuireadh, anglicised as Moytura) is the name of the locations of two battles said to have been waged by the Tuatha Dé Danann. The name means "plain of pillars". Tradition has actually placed the two fields of Magh Tuiredh in two separate locations in Connacht, the western province of Ireland. The first is near Cong, in the County Mayo on the border with County Galway; and the second by Lough Arrow in County Sligo.
