  quote: ''
  summary: Finn and Goll quarrel over Goll's killing of Finn's father; insults between
    Cairell and Conan become a faction fight, temporarily stopped by the poets. Later
    disputes and vengeance between Finn's people and the sons of Morna lead to killings
    of Berach Brec, the hound Conbeg, a group involving Tuatha de Danaan women and
    Fianna men, and finally a mistaken night attack in which Fianna kill their own
    allies. The passage ends with a memorial stone and place-name explanations.
