 The MacLochlainns of Inishowen
Modern historians believe the Tuatha Dé Danann to be old Celtic gods reduced to mortality by seventh century ecclesiastical schools as they fabricated a pseudohistory projecting into the distant past known as Lebor Gabála Érenn ('book of invasions of Ireland') so we should not regard this tradition as being historical.
In the twelfth century body of onomastic tradition known as Dindshenchas ('place-lore') the Grianan of Aileach is said to have been built by an ancient people called the Tuatha Dé Danann who were possessed of magical powers [1].
The Grianan of Aileach seems to have remained in a semi-ruined condition until the nineteenth century when its upper reaches were rebuilt from fallen masonry and is now in the care of the Irish state.

 ~ Faery Wicca ~
From Ireland comes a very old manuscript called Lebor Gabála Érenn (The Book of the Taking of Ireland), which might be considered the first recordings of the oral Faery Tradition; for we read within its pages of the ancient gods and goddesses of pre-Celtic, Celtic, pre-Christian, as well as Christian Ireland.
As one might ascertain from this brief glimpse of the modern Faery-Faith, it is not a religion but a "way of life." Faery practitioners strive to incorporate their spiritual beliefs and teachings into who they are every day of the week.
Additional information on Faery Folklore can also be helpful in your search for the correct Faery lineage and traditions.

 CLAB: An Introduction to Celtic Mythology
Scholars have sometimes called the material based on the Lebor Gabála the “Mythological Cycle”, and there are other well-known stories related to it, such as Cath Maige Tuired (the Battle of Maigh Tuireadh).
This correlates with the conflict between the gods of culture and the gods of nature, which is a major theme of Indo-European mythology in general.
There’s evidence that the Celts of Britain attempted a similar reworking of their native lore during the early Middle Ages, but not as much of it has survived: mainly the Latin accounts of Nennius and Geoffrey of Monmouth, and the later Welsh summary called Brut y Brenhinoedd.
