§ 237b: Trí h-amra Connacht

# 237b Trecheng breth Féne
Second of three wonders (amra) of Connacht: the weight/stone (dírna .i. cloch) of the Dagda: even if it is thrown into sea or put inside a house under lock (tech fo glass) (or into a fire—23 N 27), it always returns to the well.
Like the first wonder, this one also occurs in the Middle Irish inventory De ingantaib Érenn. The text of the description of the Dagda's dírna is corrupt. In his introduction, however, Meyer supplies a reading from the copy in RIA MS 23 N 27. See Kuno Meyer, The Triads of Ireland (1906): vi–vii
