Ed. and tr. Gwynn, MD V. Poem (13qq) on the dinnshenchas of Túaim Dá Ghúalann (‘The mound of two shoulders’), i.e. Tuam, Co. Galway, and its patron saint Iarlaithe. It begins by enumerating eleven or twelve former names in order of their succession: (1) Dún Senaig, (2) Lis Raba, (3) Glenn Gaba, (4) Dún Cairbre, (5) Glenn Echtarba, (6) Suigech Selga and (7) Glenn Dá Selga, (8) Dún Findlaích meic Fadaig, (9) Múr Meirgi, (10) Glenn na Fine, (11) Dún Guill meic Glaisrennaig and (12) Ard Ibair. While the sole manuscript copy of this poem becomes partially illegible at this point, most of the second half seems to be concerned with Iarlaithe and his encounter with the Britons. Narrative use of the toponymic element gúala (lit. ‘shoulder’) is attested twice: in the story of Iarlaithe’s arrival in Tuam after the shaft (guaille) of his chariot broke, alluding to a story known from the Life of Brendan of Clonfert, and in the reference to Tuam as a site of battle as gúala derg.
