    From a current course I am on about Fionn mac Cumhaill and his band, the following are some resource materials:

    Joseph J. Flahive 2017: The Fenian Cycle in Irish and Scots-Gaelic Literature (Cork), 

    “Celtic Mythology: Tales of Gods, Goddesses, and Heroes” by Philip Freeman (On Audible)

    Kevin Murray 2017: The Early Finn Cycle (Dublin)

    Kuno Meyer 1910: Fianaigecht: Irish Poems and Tales relating to Finn and his Fiana (Dublin)

    Silva gadelica (I-XXXI) : a collection of tales in Irish with extracts illustrating persons and places : O'Grady, Standish Hayes, 1832-1915 ed. and tr : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive 

    https://archive.org/details/silvagadelicaix00gragoog/page/n4/mode/2up?view=theater

    Ann Dooley and Harry Roe 1999: Tales of the Elders of Ireland: A New Translation of Acallam na Senórach 

     

     

    Also, while not on the reading list the fictionalised account of Fionn's life in Finn Mac Cool By: Morgan Llywelyn is a good read.
