Skregg in Roscommon County, Ireland, represents Ursa Major. The site Skregg in County Roscommon, Ireland has a capstone in the shape of Ursa Major and markings indicate it is Ursa Major, though the stone is very weatherworn. The major clue was two eyes on the bird on the front but also two apparent cupmarks below it, forming a square face as it were for the cup-part of the Big Dipper. The name Skregg gives us a clue to the figure on the megalith. In Irish Gaelic screeaghag oie is a "fern owl, nightjar" - the short-eared owl or what we might call a "screech (skregg) owl". Skregg is an owl. This owl - indigenous to the British Isles - can be viewed online at the World Owl Trust. Most interesting are the two large dimples near the mouth below the eyes, giving us the two other stars of Ursa Major in the cup-part of the Big Dipper. Fabulous. So this is Skregg. |
