  The army of the Ui-Neill of the South and North was led by Niall, son of Aedh, King of Ireland, to the men of Munster, to wage war with the foreigners. He pitched camp at Tobar-Glethrach, in Magh-Feimhin, on the 22nd of August. The foreigners went inot the territory on the same day. The Irish attacked them in the third hour before mid-day, so that one thousand one hundred men were slain between them; but more of the foreigners fell, and they were defeated. There fell here in the heat of the conflict the chief of Carraig-Brachaidhe, and Maelfinnen, son of Donnagan, chief of Ui-Cearnaigh; Ferghal, son of Muirigen, chief of Ui-Creamhthainn; and others besides them. Reinforcements set out from the fortress of the foreigners to relieve their people. The Irish returned back to their camp before the arrival of the last host, i.e. befoer the arrival of Raghnall, king of the balck foreigners, who had an army of foreigners with him. Niall set out with a small force against the foreigners, so that God prevented their slaughter through him. Niall after this remained twenty nights encamped against the foreigners. He requested of the Leinstermen to remain in siege against the foreigners. This they did, and continued the siege until Sitric, the grandson of Imhar, and the foreigners, gave the battle of Ceannfmacit to the Leinstermen, wherein six hundred were slain about the lords of Leinster, together with the king Ugair, son of Ailell. These are the names of some of their chiefs: Maelmordha, son of Muireagan, lord of Aither-Life; Mughron, son of Cinneidigh, lord of the three Comainns and of Laighis; Cinaedh, son of Thathal, lord of Ui-Feineachlais; and many other chieftains, with the arch-bishop Maelmaedhog, son of Diarmaid, who was one of the Ui-Conannla, Abbot of Gleann-Uisean, a distinguished scribe, anchorite, and an adept in the Latin learining and the Scotic langmacge. It was concering the battle of Ceann-Fmacid the following lines were composed:
  The expedition of the Leinstermen of many youths, upon a very fine road, royal the march;
  Scarcely heard they the sound of the road; they received death at Ceann-Fmacid.
  The chiefs of Liphe of broad deeds waged a battle with a sacred shrine.
  There were cut off five hundred heads in the valley over Tigh-Moling.
  Great its renown in every thing, rightly indeed, for celebrated is the spot,
  Over the plain with thousands of hundreds, Leinster sends its troops of youths.

  Niall son of Aed, king of Ireland, led an army of the southern and northern Ui Neill to Munster to make war on the heathens. He halted on the 22nd day of the month of August at Topar Glethrach in Mag Feimin. The heathens had come into the district on the same day. The Irish attacked them between the hour of tierce and midday and they fought until eventide, and about a hundred men, the majority foreigners, fell between them. Reinforcements came from the camp of the foreigners to aid their fellows. The Irish turned back to their camp in face of the last reinforcement, i.e. Ragnall, king of the dark foreigners, accompanied by a large force of foreigners. Niall son of Aed proceeded with a small number against the heathens, so that God prevented a great slaughter of the others through him. After that Niall remained twenty nights encamped against the heathens. He sent word to the Laigin that they should lay siege to the encampment from a distance. They were routed by Sitriuc grandson of Imar in the battle of Cenn Fmacit, where five hundred, or somehwhat more, fell. And there fell too Ugaire son of Ailill, king of Laigin, Mael Morda son of Muirecan, king of eastern Life, Mael Maedoc son of Diarmait, a scholar and bishop of Laigin, Ugran son of Cennetig, king of Laiges, and other leaders and nobles.
