would fit in it as would form the choice part of 

 the men of Ireland. And this was the great 

 house of a thousand soldiers. 



There is a small mound to the south-east of 

 the ruin of this house in the southern end, called 

 Dumha na m-han-amus. 



The Gi-ave of Caelchu and his Rath are near 

 the northern head of Long na m-ban. This 

 Caelchu, the son of Loam, son of Ruadh, son of 

 Cas, was one of the Eoganachts of Cashel, and the 

 most distinguished of all the men of Munster for 

 wisdom ; and from him the chiefs of Ros- Teamrach 

 and the tribe of Tuath-Cis, at Temur, are de- 

 scended. 



The Treduma (triple mound) of Nesi, the 

 daughter of Eochaidh Salbhuidhe, the mother of 

 Concobhar, [Mac Nesa,] at the north-eastern end 

 near the north-east head oi Long na m-ban. 



The Rath of Concobhar Mac JVesa alongside 

 the Treduma to the north ; its door faces the east 

 opposite the Ceann and Medhi of Cuchulainn. 



The ruins of Sciath Chonchulainn and its Tul 

 are near the Medhi to the north-east. The Rath 

 is level with the ground, and there is a small hillock 

 in its centre Ian na teala de huir. 



The Sheskin of Temur is close to Long na 

 m-ban to the north-west. This dirty little Sheskin 

 (moor) is south of Cam na macraidhe. 



Hath Grainne (Grania's fort) is west of the 

 Sheskin on the height of the hill.
