LIVE IRISH MYTHS Episode #389: Stones and Their Stories

Who sat in the Hag’s Chair? And why do two very different ancient monuments share that name? At Loughcrew, County Meath, the Hag’s Chair is a kerbstone at Cairn T. At Ballykeel, County Armagh, the name belongs to a dolmen. Both invite us into the extraordinary stories attached to Ireland’s ancient stones. Tonight on Live Irish Myths, we’ll explore Who Built the Ancient Monuments? Ireland’s Mythic Answers. From the hag carrying stones in her apron to Aengus claiming the Brú, and Diarmuid and Gráinne’s legendary stone beds, we’ll consider how people explained monuments whose builders’ names had long been lost. Could these tales preserve echoes of a distant past? What might they tell us about the generations who inherited these remarkable places?
