Legends of the Mountains

Folktales surrounding an ancient sacred site, hold within them a turbulent and painful history.

In this short film directed by Nuala Dalton, members of Killoughternane Drama Group, County Carlow, recount excerpts from these local tales, and historians share the historical context through which they emerged.

Featuring Kevin Whelan, Dr Coleman Dennehy and John Stocks Powell.

Supported by Creative Ireland and Carlow County Council Arts.
