The death of the Fer Bolg king Slane at Duma Slaine is mentioned at LL 8a21, and in Gilla Coemain's poem, Ériu ard inis na ríg (Todd L. iii. 150): he is there the eponym of the river Slaney, and Duma Slaine is, according to O'Donovan (ibid. 151, note), a mound on the bank of the Barrow. Hogan refers to another Duma Slaine at Moytura.” direct link
