In Irish mythology, Anann (also known as Anu) was a mother goddess, particularly worshipped in Munster. In Kerry County, Ireland, the twin hills of Paps of Anu were named after her. She was the goddess of fertility, cattle, and prosperity, and was known for comforting and teaching the dying. Fires were lit for her during Midsummer.
With Badb and Macha, she was part of a triumvirate of war goddesses.
