|Description=One time, as Diarmait holds the feast of Tara, Curnán son of Áed son of Eochaid Tirmcharna <small>(ancestor of the Síl Máil Ruain in Connacht)</small> kills a man (anonymous). He secures for himself the protection (''commairce'') of Fergus and Domnall, two sons of Muirchertach mac Erca, who in turn place Curnán under the protection of the saint Colum Cille. Diarmait has Curnán executed all the same. | |Description=One time, as Diarmait holds the feast of Tara, Curnán son of Áed son of Eochaid Tirmcharna <small>(ancestor of the Síl Máil Ruain in Connacht)</small> kills a man (anonymous).

Because of this, the Connachta rise up against Diarmait. Diarmait responds by ravaging Connacht as far as Cúil Sibrinne, near Cúil Dreimne, where he faces the opposing forces. The Connachta are joined here by Colum Cille with the northern Uí Néill; Fergus and Domnall, as well as their father Áed; Ainmire son of Sétna, king of the Cenél Chonaill; and Nindid mac Duach. | Because of this, the Connachta rise up against Diarmait.

Diarmait's sorcerer (''drái'') Fracchán mac Tenesáin conjures up a druidic hedge (''airbre druad'') between the two armies. Colum Cille weakens the magical barrier by reciting a brief poem beg. ‘Slóigh do ching a timchioll chairn’. As Tuatán son of Dímán <small>(son of Sarrán son of Cormac son of Eogan son of Niall)</small> brings down this barrier, a spear meets and kills him, making him the only person of Colum Cille's people to die in this battle. Diarmait is defeated. | |||
Colum Cille is credited as saying that a barrier against a warrior (''fri féine ndremain'') is not denied, hence the placename Cúil Dreimne, from Cúil Dreimféine. | |||
