History:

Cairn na Chulainn was the resting place of the Irish hero, Cu Chulainn. His magic spear, Gae Bolga, was likewise stored here. When the Banshee took on her identity of Molly in the 1990s, she made the Cairn- or rather, a cavern directly beneath it- her home.

Rory Dugan, Cu Chulainn's reincarnation, was drawn here by visions. When he arrived, Gae Bolga reactivated and gave him Cu Chulainn's memories and form once again. This prompted the Banshee to reveal herself and attack him, and in the ensuing battle, the Cairn was destroyed.
