True (Ossian's Tura) in the middle, and the town of Crumlin at the other extremity, he identifies with the caverned Cromla (Gaelic Cromleach) of the poems. The scene of the battles he considers marked by the two hundred and thirty-seven funeral barrows in the two parishes of Killeagh and Muckamore, both in the valley of the Six-mile-water. In the steep little glen of Glynnès descending to Lough Larne Dr. Waddell finds the spot where Cuthullin undertook, alone with Calmar, to hold the pass to the plain above, against the invading host of Swaran ("Fingal," B iii.). Two miles westward, on Slimoro (Slieve-Mora), with its two prominences of Upper and Lower Carneal (Cormuil), he fastens the description "On Mora stood the king in arms, . . . on Cormul's mossy rock" ("Temora," B. iii.). Dora, the author recognises in Doagh, formerly Dohar, still "yellow in the setting sun" ("Temora," B. i.) from the same spot as of old. And the battle-plain of Moi-lena he considers still traceable in the name of the parish lands of Ballylinny. Dr. Waddell, following the allusions of Ossian, indentified the site of Temora, the royal palace founded by Conar, in the great folk-mote near the village of Connor in the same neighbourhood; and during railway operations there, since the publication of his book, his reasoning has been confirmed by a wonderful discovery of golden reliques.
