Dún Sobairche, Dún Sobairce [Ir., primrose (?) fort]. Fortress cited in several OIr. narratives, coextensive with the modern village of Dunseverick, 4 miles N of Bushmills, on the north coast of Northern Ireland. Residence of King
Eochaid, who gave his daughter in marriage to
Rónán in the hopes that she would fall in love with
Máel Fothartaig in
Fingal Rónáin [How Rónán Slew His Son]. The citation of Dún Sobairche in
Táin Bó Cuailnge [Cattle Raid of Cooley] provokes questions; as
Medb captures the place after turning from the north, it could hardly be identical with Dunseverick. Gene Haley, geographer of the
Táin, suggests the name here should be Dún Lethglaise, coextensive with modern Down-patrick, Northern Ireland.
