also among the dead were ""the two sons of cathal ua mughroin"" and "ua taidhg "an teaghlaigh"". this is significant because the ua mughroin were a sept native to hy-many, some distance from gallimhe which was in any case historically based in a different territory, clann fergal. therefore, they must have travelled some distance to be present to fight against the forces from munster, possibly in a levy raised by tairrdelbach himself. ua taidgh's nickname, an teaghlaigh, indicates that he was of the household, or indeed the household bodyguard, of tairrdelbach, who would of necessity have only accompanied the high king. therefore, the deaths of members of these three vassal clans, as well as his own possible presence at the battle, indicates the importance the high king attached to his ""dún"" on the gallimhe. this is underlined by the fact that it was rebuilt, which can be inferred by a further attack in 1149.
