`The lovely #Tuag had caught the eye of the god of the sea, #Manannán Mac Lir. As his emissary his bard Fer Í disguised himself a woman and crept into the chambers of #Tuag, where the dwarf sang a lullaby so potent that she fell into a dreamless sleep. Continuing to sing to the girl, Fer Í hoisted her onto his shoulders and carried her away. Later, exhausted from carrying her strong body on his small shoulders, he set her down while he rested. Unfortunately, he chose his resting place poorly, for the waters of the Bann River rose and carried Tuag away, drowning her. She may be the goddess of the Bann River. Its estuary, Tuag Inber, bears her name.`

As a result, the waters of the well rose up, carrying her out to sea and drowning her there.`
