Finn and the Fían came to a place on the Shannon called Druim nDamair (‘Secluded Ridge’?) alias Druim Dá Én (‘Ridge of Two Birds’) alias Fid nÉnaig (‘Wood of Fowling’). The second poem (7qq) calls it Snám Dá Én and asserts that Druim nDamair and Druim nÉnaig were its names before and after Finn’s time.

To discover the truth of the matter, Finn prepared himself in the following manner: he washed his white hands in a golden basin (loing-shíthal), sprinkled its water over his face and put his thumb under his tooth of wisdom (tuc a ordain for a dhét fis).
  • The truth concerning Conán’s death was then revealed to him.
  • In addition, he learned of the future advent of St Patrick and St Ciarán mac in tShaír [founding saint of Clonmacnoise], whose monastery would one day serve ‘half of Ireland’. A single quatrain of verse beg. Inmain ceall (bus comra)mach evokes the image of a church with bells ringing at the bank of a river. The poem beg. Mairg féinnid at-cuala in scél (7qq) elaborates on the assocation of Snám Dá Én with St Ciarán (Mac in t-Saeir a Muirtheimhne), notably his birth there. There is a warning that those who despoil Ciarán’s church should expect death and punishment in hell.
