The rath in front of the oak wood

 Anonymous  

The rath in front of the oak wood                                fortified enclosure
belonged to Bruidge, and Cathal,
belonged to Aedh, and Ailill,
belonged to Conaing, and Cuilíne
and to Mael Dúin before them
— all kings in their turn.
The rath survives: the kings
are covered in clay.
