Ualu
A warrior who drowns crossing the Cronn under a flagstone.
Overview
Medb has some of her followers cross the river Cronn, and the famous warrior Ualu tries it. To cross he shoulders a big flagstone so the water will not force him backward, but the river overwhelms him, stone and all, and he drowns. His grave, with his stone, is on the roadway by the river, and it is called Lia Ualonn, Ualu’s Flagstone.
