The shield of fionn

When Lugh overcame his grandfather Balor, he stuck
Balor's head in the fork of a hazel. The drip from the head
split and withered up the tree. Fifty years later Manannan
had the hazel cut down. In felling it, twice nine men were
killed and nine more were blinded by its poisonous vapours.
Manannan had the frame of a shield built up of the branches.
Bearing this shield, he won many battles. Others, kings
and heroes in many lands, succeeded to the ownership of the
shield, until it came at length to Fionn. But when the
gods were overthrown by Patrick, the shield was burnt
before Oisin's eyes by a swineherd.
