Dinnshenchas on the River Shannon (Sinann).

A prophecy in rosc found in Cath Maige Tuired, where it is attributed to the Morrígan. It seems to predict a time of great prosperity, while the next roscad prophecy, beginning ‘Ní accus bith na mbéo’, speaks instead of social disaster and the end of the world.
The narrative covered here consists of two main threads: (1) Slánugud na Mórrigna proper: Cú Chulainn’s meeting with the Morrígan, who is disguised as an old woman with a cow, and his unwitting healing of her injuries as he utters a blessing at every drought of milk he accepts from her; and (2) Cú Chulainn’s victories in a series of fights with numerous opponents sent by Medb of Connacht as he defends Ulster in the area of Delgu Muirtheimne.
