My favourite archaeology discovery is the Broighter boat! Found in 1896 by Tom Nicholl/James Morrow near Limavady, Co. Derry. Some suggest that it was a votive deposit, perhaps to the Irish sea god Manannán mac Lir! Just look at the tiny oars! In @NMIreland 📷mine #ArchaeologyDay
“For the trouble with the real folk of Faerie is that they do not always look like what they are; and they put on the pride and beauty that we would fain wear ourselves.”

In Iceland there are place names of Irish origins; Bekansstaðir (‘Beecan’s place’), Njálsstaðir (‘Nial’s place’) & Írafell (‘Mount Irish’)! There's also Irish names relating to the Papar (pre-Norse Irish monks) in the Faroes, Orkneys, Shetland Islands & Hebrides #LeifEriksonDay

"Like a fairy's intrinsic autonomy, such propensity for arbitrary or illogical behavior is decidedly un-human, and when authors humanize their fairies this quality is nearly always lost."
- J Wade, 'Fairies in Medieval Romance'
