In Dorset? there is a famous outline of an ityphallic giant with a club cut into the chalky soil. While this was probably produced in Roman times, it is very likely that it represents the Dagda. In Gaul?, The Dagda appeared in the guise of Sucellos?, the striker, equipped with a hammer and cup.
Irish tales depict The Dagda as a figure of immense power, armed with a club and associated with a cauldron. In Irish mythology, The Dagda was moreover the High King of the Tuatha de Danaan, the fairy folk and supernatural beings who occupied Ireland prior to the coming of the Celts.
