Summary
Heroic lay which tells the story of a monster, the Muilidheartach, which had a blue-black face, a rusty sword in its belt and one eye. The monster killed 100 heroes, and Fionn, Diarmad, Oscar and Oisean arose and went to talk to the monster. The monster was killed by the king but she wasn't fully killed until she was put into a hole in the ground.
