===The ''sídhe''===
A ''sídh'' (anglicized 'shee') is burial mound ([[Tumulus#Ireland|tumuli]]) associated with the ''aos sí''. In modern Irish, the word is ''sí'' (plural ''síthe''); in Scottish Gaelic it is ''sìth'' (plural ''sìthean''); in Old Irish it is ''síd'' (plural ''síde'').<ref name="DIL" /> These ''sídhe'' are referred to in English as 'fairy mounds', 'elf mounds' or 'hollow hills'.<ref name="Williams 30"/>  

In some later English-language texts, the word ''sídhe'' is incorrectly used both for the mounds and the people of the mounds. For example, [[W. B. Yeats]], writing in 1908, referred to the ''aos sí'' simply as "the ''sídhe''".<ref>{{Cite book|title=The Collected Works in Verse and Prose of William Butler Yeats|last=Yeats|first=William Butler|author-link=W.
