Mael, Bloc, Bluicni, [druids] of powerful sense, 



On them are the three stones 



Which the great Mal of Macha cast. 



The Mur of the concealment of the three con- 

 spiracies. 



Between the Long and the Heroes' Well ; 



Lia na Fian to the east of the road. 



Opposite the Rath of the Synods ; 



The Rath of the Synods of great virtues, 



To the north of the Fal of Temur ; 



East of the Rath by the side of the Stones, 



The house out of which Benignus escaped. 



The synod of Patrick [was held] in this great 

 Rath; 



The synod of Brendan and of Ruadhan ; 



The synod of Adamnan afterwards, 



In cursing Irgalach.

Of this Rath eastward is 



The Lecht of Maine son of Munremhar. 



South of Rath Righ remain 



The Rath of Laoghaire and his Lis, 



And his Lecht in the middle of his Lis, 



Which an upright witness partly broke. 



Behold the House of Muirisc the famous, 



[Who was] the chief beauty of Erin, 



High at the west, very high at the north. 



Low to the east, sign of prosperity.
