[7] William Wilde connected them to the mythical Battle of Moytura: Before proceeding with the narrative, we must here conduct our readers to the existing Danann monuments that accumulate in the fields opposite the glebe of Nymphsfield, to a portion of which local tradition has assigned the name of Cath na bPunnán, "the battle of the sheaves."

There are here five very remarkable stone circles still remaining within the compass of a quarter of a square mile, and there are traces of others.

That figured above consists of nineteen flat flagstones placed in a circle, each inclining outwards, perfectly smooth on the outside, but grooved and hollowed on their internal faces, which were evidently those originally exposed to the action of air or water.

A considerable portion of this circle has been removed and its interior, which is now planted, is fifty-four feet in diameter.

At the south-west corner of the same field, opposite the glebe there is another circle, of which the subjoined is a graphic representation.
