Diarmuid did not keep Gráinne with him but cut out another cave for her about a mile from his own. and right in front of his own. which cave's called Leabaidhín Gráinne
The big cave is called Leabadh Dhiarmuda It now serves as a house for twenty or thirty goats in rainy or snowy weather.
When Diarmuid wanted his shirt washed he rolled it up into a hard ball and fired it from his own cave to Gráinne's which is a distance of a mile. When Gráinne had the shirt washed and ready she rolled it up in the same form and fired it back again to Diarmuid.
