Dindshenchas 06: Fled Bricrenn 3 – Your Head or Mine?

Two-headed stone figure from Boa island, Lough Erne. In the final episode of Fled Bricrenn, our heroes head deep into the Otherworld, a.k.a. Kerry. They enter the mysterious revolving fort of Cú Roí Mac Daire, culminating in the iconic beheading game. Join the Story Archaeologists as they take an axe to the Gordian Knot of this magnificent, though bewildering, saga. Please note: This would originally have been one long episode!
