Summary
Some information and a fragmented recitation of one of the Fingalian lays. In this extract the Muilidheartach, the King of Ireland, Oscar and Ossian are mentioned. The Muilidheartach had killed 100 heroes and Oscar arose to fight her. The only way to kill the Muilidheartach was to bury her in a hole, so Oscar was facing her and driving her back and the others were digging a hole behind her.
