Ua Domnaill, namely, Rughraidhe, son of Nechtain Ua
Domnaill, was killed by Domnall, son of Niall Ua Domnaill (the Rough). And
it was thus he was killed: to wit, Ua Dochartaigh captured Domnall in
treachery and put him, into the castle of Inis. The people of Ua
p.181
Dochartaigh, that is, the party guarding Domnall, proved false to Ua
Dochartaigh: namely, made himself prisoner, and liberated Domnall. When Ua
Domnaill, that is, Rughraidhe, learned that Domnall was captured by Ua
Dochartaigh, he mustered a host to him and went and surrounded the castle of
Inis. And the other Ua Domnaill, namely, Domnall, was safe therein and Ua
Dochartaigh in custody therein with his own people and with Domnall.
Rughraidhe and Mac Uibilin were attacking the castle against Domnall. Now,
Domnall went on the top of the castle and cast a stone forth therefrom (on
the Nones 7th of April) on Ua Domnaill (namely,
Rughraidhe) and killed him with that cast. And he came forth himself
afterwards with victory of overthrow and pursued the besieging host and wrested great spoil from them. And
himself took Tir-Conaill in its entirety from that out and so on.

A sermon was preached this year on the
Cloch-cuir in Fir-Manach by Tadhg Ua Donnchadha, namely, on the feast- day of St. Lawrence. And it was for this I wrote
that, be-
cause it is known to me that that sermon of the Cloch-cuir is being
mentioned by a multitude of persons.
