    Cormac Cas king of Munster son of Oilioll fought the battle of Knocksouna against the king of Ulster. Cormac was wounded in the head, and for three years his brain was flowing. A great Dun was erected having a beautiful spring in the middle over which a royal house was built. Three gargons (pillar stones) were placed around it on which was laid the bed of the king. He died there and was buried in a cave within the Dún. Duntry League Dún-trí-Liag means the Fort of the three Pillar Stones.
