While the sun is known to have been worshipped by the Pagan Ivish, this conjecture rests solely upon the etymology of the name Grianan, from Grain, the Sun. No authority is found for such use of the word Grianan, while multitudinous authorities concur in the meaning of just what it was— “‘the shining place;” the ‘‘bright tower on the gray chiff;” “'the shining Dun;” “a noble habitation;” *‘the royal seat.” The Grianan of Aileach was the royal seat, fortress, stronghold, of the North- eren, who were the most ancient, kings of Ireland. The grim cashel itself (a considerable ina historic pocm it antiquity in the Dinnseanchus, Griunan of Aileach is that there were ' part of which is a timely restoration), is a massively walled circular enclosure, with a circumference of nearly three hundred and sixty feet, surrounding an ¢ eighty feet in diameter. teen feet high above the about fi solid rock apex of the mountain. The breadth of the 11 at the base is fifteen feet; at its coping about eleven fect. The outer wall has a curved slope, or inclination, inward from the base up- wards, and the entire mass is laid with uncemented stones, Thesingle entrance to the curious structure is from the east. This gatew: is a . trifle over six feet high, is four feet o s at the bottom, and the sides incline slightly from the base to the horizontal lintel above; a form common in mostancientstructuves and especially in elevated entrances to round towers of Ireland. In thein- tevior at the four arms of the ci stone steps lead right or left tc platform. The second platform is sim- ilarly ascended. The last, or grand platform, is reached by seven stone stairs irregularly ' located; and the coping of the cashel's walls is breast-high ' to one stand- ing upon the lutfer platform. In the center of the southern wall and at the ceuter of the northeastern quarter civ- cle, are entrances into which one cun creep on hands and knees. They lead to intramural . gaflerics, the former about 70, and the latter about 40, feet in lengthy each but 5 feet high inches wide at the bottom, and with inclining side. At the west, almost opposite the entrance, are a midden and drain, well preserved.

There in the east is the rising sun, which perhaps, they worshipped. it floods the beauteous valleys with shine and life.

It mavtles Lough Swilly with crimson and ange from the base of Aileach past the white sails of the herrving fish- ers’s smacks, until the lough is lost at the thundering edge of the shoreless northern seas.
