Carn Inghine Bhriain, i. e. the carn of the daughter of Brian. This carn has not yet been identified with any satisfaction. It is not the carn on the red hill of Skreen already described, for that was the earn of Rufina, the daughter of Airtri Uchtleathan. The Editor is of opinion that the Carn Inghine Bhriain was the grand one called Miosgan Meidhbhe, situated on the conspicuous hill of Ardnarea in Cuil Irra; for Meadhbh, after whom that carn was called, might have been the daughter of Brian, the eldest son of King Eochaidh Muighmheadhoin, and thus it might be appropriately called Carn Inghine Bhriain, or the carn of the daughter of Brian. But the Venerable Charles O'Conor was of opinion that this carn on Knocknarea was called from Meava, the daughter of Eochy Feylogh, King of Ireland, and the celebrated Queen of Connaught, who raised so much disturbance in the kingdom during the times of Tiberius, Caligula, Nero, and Claudius. — Letter to Dr. Curry, Aug. 27th, 1761. But we have the direct evidence of the most authentic Irish MSS. that Meadhbh, or Meave, the daughter of King Eochy Feylogh, was killed on the island of Inis Clothrann, in Lough Ree, in the Shannon, and buried at Cruachan (see p. 28, note w i. e. p. 29, note 107 in the CELT edition); so that we cannot for a moment believe that the carn on Knocknarea, called Miosgan Meidhbhe, was called after Meadhbh, the daughter of Eochy Feylogh, as O'Conor asserts, evidently without having sufficiently considered the subject. But it may be objected to this conjecture that Ardnarea lies to the east of the strand of Traigh Eothuile, and that, therefore, it is outside the limit of O'Dowd's legitimate territory, and the Editor is willing to grant the weight of this objection to its fullest extent, though it will appear from the poem of Giolla Iosa Mor Mac Firbis, written in 1417, that O'Dowd claimed jurisdiction over the entire country as far as the River Cowney, which falls into the sea at Drumcliff.
