That night [before the battle], Finn awoke in his bed (imda); rose early in the morning [st. 16]; went to the ford [Áth Guill] unseen and heard loud snoring [st. 17]; he discovered Goll, still fast asleep, and unsheathed his sword over him [st. 18]; Goll awoke at the sound of Finn’s sword and reached for his spear [st. 19].

# 16-19 A cháorthuinn Clúana Ferta
That night [before the battle], Finn awoke in his bed (imda); rose early in the morning [st. 16]; went to the ford [Áth Guill] unseen and heard loud snoring [st. 17]; he discovered Goll, still fast asleep, and unsheathed his sword over him [st. 18]; Goll awoke at the sound of Finn’s sword and reached for his spear [st. 19].
Murphy suggests that these stanzas are probably original to the poem.
