Cairn na Chullain is a location from the Disney animated series, Gargoyles. It is the tomb of Cu Chullain.
Background[]
Cairn na Chullain serves as the final resting place of Cu Chullain, Ireland's greatest hero. In addition to Cu Chullain getting buried, his spear the Gae Bolga was also kept in his tomb. Additionally, the Banshee made this area her home since the 1990s where she kept Goliath, Angela, and Elisa Maza as prisoners within the tomb.
All of a sudden, Rory Dugan seeked the tomb of Cu Chullain and touched the magical Gae Bolga, causing him to recognize his heritage just as Rory grabs the spear, reincarnating himself into Cu Chullain while Molly transforms into the Banshee just as the two engage into a confrontation at the tomb. A battle between Cu Chullain and the Banshee begins outside the tomb, followed by Bronx taking his role as the Hound of Ulster who assists the reincarnated Cu Chullain attempting to defeat the Banshee only for her to transform into Cromm-Cruach, the death worm. During battle, Cu Chullain defeats Cromm-Cruach in combat. With the Banshee defeated, Cu Chullain transforms back into Rory Dugan, which he thanks the Manhattan Clan for helping him remember his heritage once again just before the Manhattan Clan leaves.
Trivia[]
- According to series creator Greg Weisman, he pointed out a missed opportunity in the episode "The Hound of Ulster" that "really drives [him] crazy" - specifically, what Weisman actually was saying that Cu Chullain's armor and bones should have been in the chamber of Cairn na Chullain during the part where the Banshee held Goliath, Elisa, and Angela as prisoners[1].
