This is all I could find about your queries, in the Lebor Gabala Erenn.

Many of the Tuatha De Dannan were killed in that battle. It is there that Fas wife of Un son of Uicce fell, from whom is named Glen Faise. Scota wife of Mil fell in the same valley; from her is named "Scota's Grave", between Sliab Mis and the sea.

Sorry, but if you want more detail about the battle or Scota's grave, then you won't find it.

Thank you very much indeed. I often go walking by Scotias grave and have often wondered if it would be possible to find out more. Now I know. I appreciate your time.Thanks.

i was given a gift form a good friend yesterday, it's a book entitled "Magic of the Celtic Otherworld - Irish History, Lore and Rituals" by Steve Blamires. the first two chapters are dedicated to the what we know of the Irish Celts from archaeological and literary sources, and there is a good bibliography for more information on the subject.

the rest of the book seems to be a reconstruction attempt at the Irish belief system, but is still based upon what we can gather from the literary sources. it looks like a good read, but like i said, i was only given it yesterday so i've only read the first 2 chapters.

That sounds great! Thanks! I have two books on Irish myths and legends, and they are very thorough with the tales of gods and men, but I'm always looking for new and historical information about Celtic belief systems.

You're welcome.

You can find the full translation in e-text, here - Lebor Gabala Erenn: The Book of Invasions, vol. 5 The Coming of Milesians. I have actually read and done my research of the 5 volumes at Melbourne's State Library; unfortunately I don't have my own copies.

But fortunately I found this site has translations of many Celtic literature - The Celtic Literature Collective, by Mary Jones.

My site, Timeless Myths, contained only summary of the literature that I have researched, pieced together the various sources, and retold in my own way.
