Gort na Cle means the "field of the stakes". After the battle of Contarf in the year 1014 Donogh the son of Brian Boru was marching home with some of the Dalcassions, and they were carryig the wounded on litters and halted to rest at Gort na Cle.
Mac Gilla Patrick, the Prince of Ossory had great enmity against Brian Boru, because Brian had put his father in prison. On hearing of the weakened state of the Dalcassions, Mac Gilla Patrick came to attack them in revenge.
