"Pinkman: Lios-Droma-Geimheal = Fort of the ridge of the bonds or fetters. Recalling the memory of some prisoner, or prisoners, held in bonds. It was usual to fetter or manacle prisoners, captives who were taken in war, slaves; and sometimes, hostages. When Muircheartach, son of Niall Glendubh, King of Alieach, made an excursion through Ireland in the winter of 942 AD, he captured many Kings and Cheiftains – some of whom he placed in fetters or bonds. Cormacan Eigeas or the poet, relating the events says “We carried off with us Lorcan, descendant of Bresal of the cows; a rough bright fetter, geimhiul or geimheal, was fastened on that Arch-King of populous Leinster.” "
