The Dinnshenchas Érenn is a compilation of literary compositions, in prose or verse, on lore surrounding the prominent places of Ireland. These texts usually offer origin legends which purport to explain how a well-known place in Ireland, such as a certain hill, plain or lake, received its present or former name. The genesis of this collection is usually dated to the late Middle Irish period (11th and 12th centuries).

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
