Lough Gur

Lough Gur (Irish: Loch Goir)[2] is a lake in County Limerick, Ireland between the towns of Herbertstown and Bruff.

[3] It is here that the 14th-century lord of Munster and poet Gearóid Iarla, votary of the Goddess Áine, is said to sleep in a cave and emerge at the time of Ireland's need to gallop around the lake on his great silver-shod white horse.

A gradual shoreline is present at the visitor area, with a shallow section of lake reaching up to the maintained lawn.

There is some other architecture dating from more recent times, with the ruins of an early Christian church by the road leading down to the lake.

[citation needed] Lough Gur is a famous location for finding Irish Elk skeletons.

The north end of Lough Gur reaches up to a maintained lawn at the visitor area at the lake. The clump of trees jutting out into the water hide the site of a crannog [ 3 ]
Lough Gur is one of Ireland's most important archaeological sites.
