Item description
First of the three wonders of Glenn Dalláin in Tír Éogain: the boar (torcc) of Druim Leithe.
First of the three wonders of Glenn Dalláin in Tír Éogain: the boar (torcc) of Druim Leithe.
It was born there, and Finn mac Cumaill was unable to do aught against it, until it fell in Mag Li by a peasant (aithech) who was kiln-drying. Whence Finn said:
Ní mad biadsam ar cono. / ní mad ríadsam ar n-echa / tan is aithechán átha. / romarb torcc Dromma Letha
Not well have we fed our hounds, / Not well have we driven our horses, / Since a little boor (aithechán) from a kiln / Has killed the boar of Druim Leithe.
Briefly discussed in Kuno Meyer, Fianaigecht (1910): xxii (in the section for 10th-century fragment of fíanaigecht).
