Rath Crinna
Rath Crinna, whence the name? Not hard to say: from Crinna
son of Conn the hundred-fighter, who was slain there by
Eochaid find Fuathnairt, it was named. Eochaid brought his
head with him to the house of Tara and set it on a stake of
rowan, to spite Art son of Conn, for that was a thing
forbidden to him. For that cause Eochaid was banished into
Leinster, and hence come the Fotharta in Leinster to-day.
Crinna son of Conn, stout his spear: Dun Crinna was his
stronghold: though it is called by his name, short was his
span of life therein.
