Crích Rois

A territory where the Connacht army camps, and where Cethern is healed and fights at Smirommair and Lia Toll.

Overview

Crích Rois is a territory, and the text places three of its named spots inside it: Ochtur Lui, Smirommair and Lia Toll. The Connacht army passes Cúchulainn and camps there during the fighting with Fergus. Most of the healing and the pillar-stone episodes of Cethern happen in the same territory.
