Tullyhogue Fort, also spelt Tullaghoge〔(Discover Northern Ireland: Tullaghoge Fort )〕 or Tullahoge〔(Cookstown District Council minutes (8 April 2008) )〕〔(The Development of the Irish Language: Part 5 ), ''Culture Northern Ireland''〕 (from Middle Irish ''Tulach Óc'' meaning "hill of youth" or "mound of the young warriors"),〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Triskelle )〕 is large mound on the outskirts of Tullyhogue village near Cookstown, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. It has a depressed centre and is surrounded by trees. It is an ancient ceremonial site where chieftains of the O'Neill dynasty of Tyrone were inaugurated.〔 It is a State Care Historic Monument sited in the townland of Ballymully Glebe, in the Cookstown District Council area, at grid reference: H8250 7430.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Environment and Heritage Service – State Care Historic Monuments )〕 The inauguration site is a Scheduled Historic Monument at grid ref: H8251 7428.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Environment and Heritage Service – Scheduled Historic Monuments )〕 ==History== The date of the construction of Tullyhogue fort is not known, however it is believed to have held great significance from early times, possessing a form of ritual importance long before the O'Neills became associated with the site.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=The Chrono Centre – Queens University Belfast )〕 Tullyhogue rath was originally associated with the Uí Tuirtre of Airgialla, and then with the O'Hagans between the 11th and 17th centuries.〔Connolly, S. J., ''Oxford Companion to Irish History'', page 584-5. Oxford University Press, 2007.〕 The O'Hagans dwelt at the site and became its hereditary guardians, with their burial place at Donaghrisk situated at the bottom of the hill.〔 In the later medieval period it became the inauguration site of the O'Neill dynasty, where the title "the O'Neill", was bestowed upon each new lord.〔〔 The inauguration was carried out by the heads of the O'Cahan and O'Hagan.〔 O'Cahan, the O'Neill's principal sub-chief, would throw a golden sandal over the new lord's head to signify good fortune. O'Hagan, being the hereditary guardian of Tullyhogue, would place the shoe on the O'Neill's foot and present him with a rod of office.〔〔 Hugh O'Neill's inauguration in 1593 was the last such event for an O'Neill to take place at Tullyhogue.〔 The last coronation that is claimed to have taken place at Tullyhogue was that of Sir Phelim O'Neill in 1641, however it was later rejected.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tullyhogue Fort」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
