In this wise fell Calatin Dana ('the Bold') at the hands of Cuchulain, together with his seven and twenty sons and his grandson Glass macDelga 1and the two sons of Ficcè with them, two bold warriors of Ulster who had come to use their strength on the host.1 So that for evermore in the bed of the ford is still the rock whereabout they had their strife and struggle 2and their slaughtering of each other;2 and the mark of their sword-hilts is in it and of their knees and their elbows 3and their fists3 and the butt-ends of their spears. 4And their nine and twenty standing stones were set up there.4 Hence Fuil Iairn ('Blood of Iron') to the westb of Ath Firdead ('Ferdiad's Ford') is the name of the ford. It is for this it is called Fuil Iairn, because of the 'blood over weapons'c that was there.
