Hiking
Knockma is a true fairy forest. It is said that Finvarra, the King of the Connacht fairies calls it his home. The cairns at the top are also thought to be Queen Maeve of Connacht's burial place. It is also said that Noah's granddaughter Ceasair was buried underneath the central cairn. It bears the inscription of her name 'Carn Ceasra'. It is possible that the hill was an important location for ceremonies during Neolithic times.
