Grainan of Aileach is an ancient stone ring fort in Donegal. The fort was first constructed around 1700 BC by the Tuatha de Danann. It is believed that it was the Palace of the Northern Princes, from 400 AD up until the 14th century. Legend states that the giants of Inishowen (Princes of Aileach) are lying sleeping but when the sacred sword is removed they will spring to life reclaiming their ancient lands.
