	The Many Faces of Fionn Mac Cumhaill
		Goll MacMorna, according to the Cause of the Battle of Cnucha, is another possible culprit, as this would have sown the seeds of the lengthy and notorious clan rivalry between Morna and Cumhaill.
		Two other names often connected with Cumhaill's death are Liath Luachra, keeper of the crane bag, and from the Scots traditions the trickster fisherman Arca Dubh.
		At any rate, from the literary evidence that has been passed down, we know that the death of Cumhaill and birth of Fionn happened during the reign of Cathair Mor, who died at the Battle of Moigh Acha in Meath sometime in the middle of the second century AD.
