Cnoc Meadha (also Cnoc Meádha Siuil referring to its location on the plain of Maigh Seóla, and variously spelled Knockmagha, Knockma, or Knock Ma) is a hill west of Tuam, County Galway, in Ireland. It is said in legend to be the residence of Finnbheara, the king of the Connacht fairies. Of two large cairns on the hill, one was thought to be the burial-place of Finnbheara and the other of Queen Medb, whose name may be transformed in the name Cnoc Meadha. Knockma Hill is topped with prehistoric cairns. G. H. Kinahan wrote of the place:

  • Der Knockmaa (oder Knockma, irisch Cnoc Meá, ältere Schreibung Cnoc Meadha) ist ein unvermittelt aus der Ebene aufragender Hügel auf der Ostseite des Lough Corrib im Norden des County Galway in Irland. Knockmaa bedeutet Maedbs Hügel. Nach einer Überlieferung ist die Königin von Connacht unter einem der vier Cairns auf dem Gipfel begraben. Nach einer anderen Legende ist dieser Hügel jedoch der Cul Cessrach, unter dem Cessair liegt. Der zweite Cairn soll nach der Legende der Zugang zum Andersweltsitz von Finvarra (Finnbherra), dem Feenkönig von Connacht, sein. Maedbs Grab wird in der Regel mit dem Cairn von Knocknarea bei Sligo in Zusammenhang gebracht. Die Ruine des im 13. Jahrhundert errichteten und 1705 zerstörten Old Castle Hackett ist ein Bau der Kirwans, einer Familie der Stämme von Galway. Die Ruine heißt im Volksmund Finvarras Castle. Auf der Südostseite des Knockmaa liegt ein Ringfort mit drei unterirdischen Kammern, die Gaillech Cave (Höhle der Caillech) genannt werden. (de)
  • Cnoc Meadha (also Cnoc Meádha Siuil referring to its location on the plain of Maigh Seóla, and variously spelled Knockmagha, Knockma, or Knock Ma) is a hill west of Tuam, County Galway, in Ireland. It is said in legend to be the residence of Finnbheara, the king of the Connacht fairies. Of two large cairns on the hill, one was thought to be the burial-place of Finnbheara and the other of Queen Medb, whose name may be transformed in the name Cnoc Meadha. Knockma Hill is topped with prehistoric cairns. G. H. Kinahan wrote of the place: The soft breezes that pass one in an evening in West Galway are called fairy paths. They are said to be due to the flight of a band of the good people on their way to Cnockmaa (Hill of the Plain), near Castle Hackett, on the east of Lough Corrib, which is their great resort in Connaught. […] A soft hot blast indicates the presence of a good fairy; while a sudden shiver shows that a bad one is near. In Evans-Wentz's classic The Fairy-Faith in Celtic Countries, his informant Mr John Glynn, the town clerk of Tuam, mentions that: The whole of Knock Ma (Cnoc Meadha) which probably means Hill of the Plain, is said to be the palace of Finvara, king of the Connaught fairies. There are a good many legends about Finvara, but very few about Queen Maeve in this region. During 1846-7 the potato crop in Ireland was a failure, and very much suffering resulted. At the times, the country people in these parts attributed the famine to disturbed conditions in the fairy world. Old Thady Steed once told me about the conditions then prevailing, "Sure, we couldn't be any other way; and I saw the good people and hundreds besides me saw them fighting in the sky over Knock Ma and on towards Galway." And I heard others say they saw the fighting also. (en)

  • Hutan Knockma (bahasa Irlandia: Cnoc Meadha) adalah hutan yang terletak di , Irlandia. Hutan ini memiliki keindahan yang cukup bagus. Tetapi hutan ini memiliki tentang mitos atau legenda mistis di hutan tersebut, seperti sebuah bukit bebatuan. Ratu legendaris prajurit juga dikatakan dimakamkan di piramida di bukit bebatuan tersebut. Konon, di hutan itu terdapat sebuah Kerajaan Peri. Legendanya menceritakan bahwa Peri (atau Finvarra) pernah menculik pengantik yang sangat cantik dari raja Peri Irlandia. Karena raja peri irlandia mengetahui itu, kemudian raja peri irlandia bersama prajuritnya mengejar Finvarra sampai kebukit. Raja peri Irlandia kemudian memerintahkan para prajuritnya menggali lubang untuk menuju ke Kerajaan Peri Connacht. Saat malam tiba, para Peri-peri Finvarra menutup kembali lubang tersebut. Karena raja Peri Irlandia mengetahui itu, kemudian ia menaburkan garam di sekeliling bukit tersebut dan pada akhirnya penggalian lubang tersebut sukses dan raja peri irlandia pun berhasil menyelamatkan Permaisurinya. Para Arkeolog juga meneliti lubang tersebut untuk membuktikan adanya Kerajaan Peri Finvarra. Namun para peneliti lubang tersebut belum mendapatkan bukti tentang adanya kerajaan peri. Tentang bukanlah sekadar legenda saja, para arkeolog juga berhasil menemukan sejenis neolithic di sekitar hutannya. Bahkan para arkeolog juga berhasil menemukan monumen-monumen batu yang diperkirakan berasal dari zaman 6000-7000 SM. Hutan Knockma ini termasuk sebagai tempat untuk menuju ke lokasi mitos. Entah benar atau tidak, legenda tersebut hanyalah sebuah kepercayaan yang patut dihargai. * l * * s (in)
