In Irish folklore, a magical hood or cap worn by mermaids (or merrows) in order to survive under the waves. It is thought to be red and covered with feathers. If it is stolen, the mermaids cannot return beneath the water

The original Irish spelling is "cochaillín draoi" (magic hood) and "merrow" comes from "murúch" also called "maighdean mara" (sea-maiden).
