Abhartach (pronounced[ˈəuɾˠt̪ˠəx]; Irish for 'dwarf'), also Avartagh, is an early Irish legend, which was first collected in Patrick Weston Joyce's The Origin and History of Irish Names of Places (1870).[1] Abhartach should not be confused with the similarly named Abartach, a figure associated with Fionn mac Cumhaill.
