Lugaid mac Con Ro\u00ed has three magical spears made, and it is prophesied that a king will fall by each of them. With the first he kills C\u00fa Chulainn&#8217;s charioteer L\u00e1eg; with the second he kills C\u00fa Chulainn&#8217;s horse, Liath Macha; with the third he hits C\u00fa Chulainn, mortally wounding him. C\u00fa Chulainn ties himself to a standing stone \u2014 traditionally Clochafarmore (&#8220;Stone of the Big Man&#8221;), which had been erected to mark the grave of a past great warrior.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>C\u00fa Chulainn continues to fight his enemies, and it is only when a raven (the traditional form of The Morr\u00edgan) lands on his shoulder that his enemies believe he is dead. Lugaid approaches and beheads him, but as he does so the &#8220;hero-light&#8221; burns around C\u00fa Chulainn and his sword falls from his hand and cuts Lugaid&#8217;s hand off. The light disappears only after his right hand is cut off.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The region is known as An Breisleach M\u00f3r, \u201cThe Great Carnage&#8221;, while the field in which this stone stands is called the Field of Slaughter.
