Féile Grianán Áiligh

We spent the afternoon at the first Féile Grianán Áiligh at An Grianán of Aileach – a ringfort built by the Uí Néill in the sixth or seventh century.

There was falconry, battle re-enactments, music and demonstrations of hurdle making, blacksmithing and more – on a chilly, but sunny afternoon.
