Indian mythology states everyone including humans were giants in previous ages/yugas. Goddess Danu’s descendants were Danava like Tauthe De Danaan were goddess Danu’s descendants in Irish mythology. 🙂
We have our own Burren in Co Cavan, Dermott. Not many people know that, and its not so vast as the Burren more famous on the North Atlantic Way, but it has a visitor Centre and many fascinating ancient monuments. 😊
I enjoyed this story and I’m familiar with the stories recounted. It’s disturbing then to read ‘Here in Co Cavan, folklore local to the Burren tells the tale of two sibling giants’ and wonder, is that a typo, a misprint, a simple mistake, by the author, Ali Isaacs. The Burren is in West Clare on the west coast of Ireland, not in Cavan, which is in Ulster, in the north of Ireland?
You need to ask Ali, Dermott 🐵
For anyone who thinks Dermott is wrong about Cavan being in Ulster, he is referring to the old Province, not the UK version 🐵
No, I’m referring to the current province, of which there nine counties and three of those are not in Northern Ireland, the six counties. It appears Ali’s not the only one, Chris

So just to be clear, 2 Burrens, one in Clare and one in Cavan, which is part of Ulster, no mistakes by anyone! 😁

Oh and yes Cavan is definitely still part of the province of Ulster. 😊

LOL – I’m originally from Larne, Co. Antrim Dermott, so I’m from Ulster and N. Ireland at the same time 👍😄
