Eibhear and his division of the fleet
Eibhear and his divided fleet succeeded in landing again at Inbhear Sceine, called after Sceine wife of the poet Aimheirgin, who was drowned there. Tradition, rightly or wrongly, still points out the place at Cuas na Fuirinne and Cuas na gCraobh on the bleak promontory south of Derry-nane. Three days later they encountered Eire, at Sliabh Mis, where a great battle was fought. Though the royal ladies Scota and Fas were among the slain, and buried there, the Tuatha De Danann were completely routed. Eire, surviving, hastened to Tara with the news. Mean-time Eireamhon and his followers had sailed from Inbhear Sceine right around to Inbhear Colpa, now Drogheda, where Colpa of the Sword, born in Gothia, was drowned. By a coincidence which would seem to have more in it of strategy than chance, they were met, on landing, by their relatives, the survivors of Sliabh Mis. Thus strengthened, they marched to Tailltin, and there fought a battle in which the three kings of Ireland and their queens Eire, Banba and Fodhla were slain and the remnant of the Tuatha De Danann put to flight. In pursuing them northwards, two of the Milesian chiefs, Cuailnge and Fuad, fell at Sliabh Cuailnge and Sliabh Fuaid respectively.
