The law tract on legal entry, Din Techtugud, does not only discuss the regular procedure of legal entry, but it also deals with correct procedure in case of a woman laying claim to a property. The text explains that the procedure was slightly different for women than what it was for men, and the correct procedure of bantellach is dealt with in three separate paragraphs of DT. These paragraphs have been partly translated by Binchy in Watkins' article in Celtica 6, and fully translated in an unpublished translation by Dr. Graham Isaac, which is the version I will be dealing with in this paper. The early Irish lawyers dealt with the legal capacity of women by illustrating the principles in a series of legendary leading cases. The first leading case is regarding a woman named Cíannacht. This paragraph explains the details of the procedure of legal entry for women: 'Cíannacht has enforced a claim on distant lands. It was two ewes that she placed there. She passed the boundary mound on her first entry, and her forced entry was against the kin. She remains there according to féinechas, for eight days of waiting. Testimony of women on her first entry, who do not sell their virginity. On the fourth day there is arbitration, that is lawful procedure in every entry by women. She came then from her territory with double the number, (and) again, (with) a kneading-through, a riddle, a baking-(?utensil): a visit which she enforces through her joint surety, with the statement of men of superior testimonies. It is then that there is arbitration through which due legal process is to answer her. Four days is the first rightful (period of arbitration), two days is the second, a speedy verdict is the third.' 1 1 1 translation by Graham Isaac. From CIH 207.22-208.20. Binchy's translation of the first eight lines reads: 'Ciannacht has recovered distant lands, she placed two ewes there, she came over the mound-fence as the first entry, and her seizure was against the fine. She afterwards remained according to the Féinechus, to the end of eight days of waiting, with women witness on the occasion of the first entry, who do not sell their virginity.' (Watkins, 227.)
