Lough Key
Lough Key () is a lake in Ireland. It is in the northwest of County Roscommon, northeast of the town of Boyle. The lough's is believed to be named after a mythical figure named Cé.
==Name==
The name ''Lough Key'' comes from the Irish ''Loch Cé''. In Irish mythology, Cé was the druid of the god Nuada. He was wounded in the Second Battle of Mag Tuired and fled southward until he came to Carn Corrslebe, where he rested. He saw ahead of him a beautiful plain full of flowers. He sought to reach it, and when he did, he died. When his grave was dug there, a lake burst out of it, and flooded the whole plain. It was thus named Loch Cé after him.〔Lady Gregory ''Gods and Fighting Men'' ()〕
