Excerpt from Congal: A Poem in Five Books It was also "the expiring effort of the Pagan and Bardic party in Ireland, against the newly consolidated power of Church and Crown." King Domnal triumphed on the battle-field of Moyra, where, after a brave conflict, Congal and his foreign allies were utterly defeated, and the provincial King of Ulster met with his tragic fate. Although supernatural beings were held to have mingled in the strife, and some of the characters in the Epic are mythical, yet, in the main, the incidents it records are historically true. In the topography of the district names and places even now preserve the local tradition; and the forts which were the residences of some of the heroes who fought at Moyra, are still standing, and are likely to stand, it may be for another thousand years or more, on their ancient sites. Not far from the town of Antrim are the remains of the earthen fort of Congal Claen; from which he marched to the final conflict. Sir Samuel Ferguson, who knew well that district of Antrim and Down, some 24 years before he published his Epic of "Congal," thus describes Rathmore - Moy-Linny. "Enough remains of the ramparts of Rathmore to show the former extent of this old residence of the kings of Dalaradia. It must have been a great and strong fort, and has witnessed events that in any other country would have long since been made the subject of heroic story.
