Text on the dinnshenchas of Fích mBuana
Places referred to include: (1) Fích mBúana (Fích mBúana, al. Fích Nemain), mentioned in both prose and verse: unidentified, but apparently “somewhere along the way from Ess Ruaid to Emain Macha” (Gwynn). It is also called Fích Nemain in the poem; (2) Snám Rathin, mentioned in the prose version: unidentified, unless it is to be equated with Snámh Rathaind of AFM s.a. 1148, which may be an early name for Drumsna (Stokes); (3) Ess Rúaid, mentioned in both prose and verse.
