The Hill of Tara has been a Celtic religious burial site since before the Pyramids of Giza.
The two Neolithic circular mounds within the Raith Na Riogh enclosure are adorned the image of Sheela Na Gig, a naked woman holding open a giant vagina.

Sheelah Day
The Catholic Church demonized the ancient icon as a symbol for pagan lust and sin. The unholy priests claimed Sheela was St. Padraic's wife. Fuck them, because thousands of the erotic carvings throughout Europe survived two-thousand years of Christian persecution of women and pagans. These female forms were revered as protection against evil spirits, because according to Wikipedia believers regarded the vulva as the primordial gate, the mysterious divide between nonlife and life.
Modern feminists rejected the concept that Sheela-Na-Gig was a Celtic goddess. Many connect her with a mythic wanton hag. Even the devil or diabhal was scared by the hag, but the Irish can drink beauty into a stone.
Cailleach, who was blind in one eye like Odin or Bridgit of Clare.
Mircea Eliade in THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF RELIGION wrote that the old woman was unsuccessful with her advances. One man was drunk enough to say, "Cad e an fuck."
Paddy woke next to a beautiful woman. Cailleach granted him royalty under her aegis.
Such are the things of legends.
As are all stories ghosted by time.
