Kim Biddulph talks to archaeologists and authors about the real stories behind the fictional books with archaeology and history as a major component.
I talk to Dr Rena Maguire about On Raven's Wing by Morgan Llywelyn. This book is a retelling of part of the Ulster Cycle, especially the life of Cuchulain, the Hound of Ulster, and the Tain Bo Cuailhge, the Cattle Raid of Cooley. It is mainly set at Emain Macha which is known to be Navan Fort bear Armagh. How much of the story reflects the Irish Iron Age?
