The Monument of the Dwarf is east of them. 

 The Cuhhat (grave) extends south-east and south- 

 (north- ?) west. Three feet only is the measure- 

 ment of the two stones. There is a small eascaid 

 below. This grave has a small stone under ground 

 to the east and another to the west. It is found 

 to be three feet at one time [of measuring] and 

 three feet and a half at another. 



There are two mounds north of the Cuhhat 

 called Dall and Dorcha, Dall towards the south, 

 Dorcha towards the west, and these [i. e. the per- 

 sons interred under them] slew each other. And 

 there is no wall between them, and the stones and 

 the Cubhat,{^dviaxrs grave.) 



Mu7' na d-tri g-cogur is in the vicinity of Long 

 na m-ban. 



Lia na h-fian (the Stone of the Fians) is to the 

 east of the road, opposite Rath Senaigh. 



Long na m-ban, i. e. Teach Midhchuarta, is 

 to the north-west of the eastern mound. The 

 ruins of this house are situate thus : the lower 

 part to the north, and the higher part to the south ; 

 and walls are raised about it to the east and to the 

 west. The northern side of it is enclosed and 

 small ; the lie of it is north and south. It is in 

 the form of a long house, with twelve doors upon 

 it, or fourteen, seven to the west, and seven to the 

 east. It is said, that it was here the Feis Teamhrach 

 was held, which seems true ; because as many men

" Supplied from the Book of Glendalough. 



» The reading in the Book of Glendalough is thus : t)all ainm in Dumai lapchopaij, ocup t)opcha 

 Dan ainm m Dumai aipchepaij. i.e. Dall is the name of the western mound, and Dorcha the name of the eastern 

 mound. 



" Instead of pl'je, road, the copy in H. 3. 3, has ll^e, a grave.

 his is the bouse in which the soldiers used to be.
