Crobh Dearg

Crob Derg^[1] (modern spelling: Crobh Dearg, pronounced in Irish as [kˠʰɾˠʌβˠ dʲaɾˠəgˠ]) is a Celtic goddess, in Scottish, Irish and Welsh mythology. Her name means "red claw". She is one of the harvest goddesses, and is also known as, or linked to, (Flame), , and/or (Fire of Wine). There is a well in Ireland named after her.

She was a war goddess and sister of Latiaran. It is possible her name was an alternate form of the Goddess of War Badb. Ancient megaliths in Leinster^[2] and Munster^[3] are named after her.
