In Irish mythology, Donn ("the dark one", from Proto-Celtic: *Dhuosnos)[1][2] is an ancestor of the Gaels and is believed to have been a god of the dead.[2][3][4] Donn is said to dwell in Tech Duinn (the "house of Donn" or "house of the dark one"),[5] where the souls of the dead gather.[6] He may have originally been an aspect of the Dagda. Folklore about Donn survived into the modern era in parts of Ireland, in which he is said to be a phantom horseman riding a white horse.
