The legend of Midir and Étáin
In the legend of Midir and Étáin, Brí Leith is where the Síd Mound of Midir is located, with the Corlea Trackway resulting from a forfeit he had to perform for the High King Eochaid after losing a game of Fidchell to him. Brí Leith was named by Midir in memory of his daughter Brí and her lover Leith. It is also called Sliabh Calraighe or Ardagh Mountain, which has sent many a person astray in the relatively flat lands of County Longford.
