Texts in prose and verse relating variant versions of dinnshenchas on Belach Gabráin (B. nGabráin, B. Gabrán), perhaps Gowran Pass (Co. Kilkenny) or more probably, according to Edward Gwynn, the pass of that name in Maistiu (Co. Kildare). This pass (belach) is said to derive its name from the hound Gabrán whose heart broke (i.e. it died) from a fatiguing and unsuccessful pursuit of a swine whose name appears exclusively in the genitive, Lurgan (cf. lurga, lurgu ‘shanks’). The swine escaped from it underground in the bog of Allen (móin Almaine). The prose story identifies the hiding place as Loch Lurgan.

Betha Brénainn Clúana Ferta I
prose
So-called first Irish Life of Brénainn of Clúain Fertae (Clonfert, Co. Galway), also known as the Lismore Life. While the first and second Lives represent much the same version during the first part of the narration, they diverge at the point where the second Life becomes conflated with the Navigatio sancti Brendani. The first Life, moreover, concludes with a fragment of Fis Adomnáin.
