These passages were called sidhe and were actually barrows or hillocks, with commons doorways bejeweled with Celtic spirals patterns. These were the doorways that, according to gossip, led within the Celtic Elysium, an cloak-and-dagger land of never-ending sparkle and arrival. One justification of Brugh na Boine, the chief of these hillforts, which the son of the Dagda, Angus Mac Og, craftily cheated his lead out of having as his own residence, had a fantastic party-all-the-time justification that specter arrival recurrent of us with Celtic blood.
