    of the concussion of Oscar's cast burst the stone, and an attempt was made to put an iron band around it, so that the challenge could be decided and that Oscar's [?] may have an opportunity of sharing his prowess, the attempt to put the band around it ended in failure so the contest remained undecided. The townland where the stone lies is called "Géim na bpice" from the noise or roar which the stone made when it fell after Oscar's cast. The modern name "Keamnabricka" is a corruption of the older name.
