Dinnshenchas of Mag Muirthemne
prose
Prose text on the dinnshenchas of Mag Muirthemne, which is found exclusively in RIA MS D ii 2. Etymologising the placename as ‘Plain of the Darkness/Cover of the Sea’, it offers two explanations that account for this name, one concerning a post-diluvian sea, the other concerning the Dagda’s encounter with a sea monster. The same anecdote is related in Tochmarc Emire.

Dinnshenchas of Mag nÚra
prose

Prose text on the dinnshenchas of Mag nÚra. It offers a version of an anecdote in Bruiden Da Choca (§ 28 in Stokes’ edition, p. 163), distinguishing between three successive names for the plain. The two earlier names, Mag nDerg and Mag nÚatha, are associated with events from the Ulster Cycle, while the main narrative focuses on St Colum Cille, who is said to have composed a hymn in memory of Ciarán (patron of Clonmacnoise) in return for trí mámanna do úraibh Cíaráin '‘three handfuls of Ciarán’s earth’. Colum Cille went to Mag nÚatha, where he scattered the earth and expelled many demons there, hence it was called Mag nÚra after this.
