Críchad an Chaoilli

Téacs Éireannach na meánaoise is ea  Críchad an Chaoilli  (Críocha an Chaoille).

Ábhar 
Téacs topografach atá sa  Críchad,  scríofa as Meán-Ghaeilge am éigin idir na blianta 1100 agus 1300.  Tugtar a theideal as an gcéad rann:
 Crichad an caoilli gu cruaidh
  in fuil uaibh nech noimluaidh ?
 tucad do mac Sonaisc sin ar an forbhais d'fhoirdhin

Críocha an Chaoille go crua/cruinn,
an bhfuil uaibh neach dá lua?
tugadh do mhac Shonaisc sin
ar an bhforbhais/léigear do chabhrú.

Is  é an chuid eile den téacs, cur síos ar thailte agus seilbheoirí i Mainistir Fhear Maí, Contae Chorcaí, áit ar a ghlaoití ríocht Chaoille nó Fir Maige Féne.
