Joseph Dunn translation
7Then Laeg 8son of Riangabair8 brought Cuchulain's sword unto him, 9the 'Hard-headed Steeling' to wit,9 and Cuchulain took the sword in his hand.7 Then he 10stood still and10 gave a blow to the three bald-topped hills of Ath Luain over against the three Maela ('the Bald Tops') of Meath, so that he struck their three heads off them. 11And they are in the bog as a witness ever since. Hence these are the Maolain ('the Flat Tops') of Ath Luain. Cuchulain cut them off as a reproach and affront to the men of Connacht, in order that every time men should speak of Meath's three Bald Tops, these in the west should be the answer the 'Three Flat Tops of Ath Luain.'11
