And they came to Áth Moga and into Fid Manach and into the causeway of Móin Conneda, and into the high road of Lecc Gnathail and over Áth Tine near Dunmore, and direct to Tuam. And they made neither plunder nor onset throughout the province, for the folk of Connacht (with their cattle and other property) had fled into their fastnesses. And Tuam was emptied, and Cell Beneóin was burned, as well as Cell Medóin and Leccach and Cell Chathgaile and Ross Cáim and the castle of Bun Gaillme. And the Foreigners were three nights in Tuam without food without profit. And they were told that the men of Connacht and Munster were gathering towards them, and the Foreigners perceived that this was true, for Ruaidhrí, the king of Ireland, did not allow them to lift a head till the place of battle was given them. The Foreigners fled till they reached the causeway of Móin Conneda, and the recruits of Connaught made an attack upon them as they were coming into the cause, and they would have been broken had not Ó Conchobhair's son been speeding them.
