The Grianan of Aileach (also spelled Ailech; Irish: Grianan Ailigh) is a group of historic monuments in County Donegal, Ireland built on the hill of Grianan which is 244 metres high. Most writers have identified the site as being the great "royal fort” of Aileach. The main structure is that of an ringfort built by the Ui Neill in the sixth or seventh century in the early christian period It is generally accepted to be the seat of the Kingdom of Aileach although the true capital is now believed to lie further to the east. The kingdoms of Ulaidh and Kingdom of Oirialla were two subject kingdoms in the North under the general rule of Aileach. Whatever its true status, the Grianan was a historical centre of culture and politics during the rule of early Irish chieftains (c. 800 BCE-1200 CE).
