かの光の御子クー・フーリンは、己の死期を悟った際、体を柱に縛りつけ、決して斃れることなく最期を迎えたという。

この陣はケルトの戦士にとって、不敗と不退を誓約する証であり、生ある敗走は決して許されない。

When the Child of Light, Cú Chulainn, became aware of his imminent death, he tied himself to a pillar and would not allow himself to fall to the ground.

To Celtic warriors, this formation is the proof of their oath to be invincible and determined, that they shall never retreat as long as they are alive.
