The king awakes and describes his dream to Becc mac Dé and his poet (''file'') Cáirid son of Finncháem (his mother). They have interpreted the dream for him, as Cáirid explains to the king: when Diarmait's reign comes to an end, there will be a division (''rann'') between the Church and secular Irish society (''tuath''); that one day, therefore, the Church and her lands will fall prey to secular power, without regard for older privileges of the Church; and that secular society will see an alarming rate of kinslaying. <!---78---> | ||

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. | Diarmait's sorcerer (''drái'') Fracchán mac Tenesáin conjures up a druidic hedge (''airbre druad'') between the two armies.
