Aided Cheit maic Mágach [  ] („The Death of Cet mac Mágach“) is the name of an irish Ulster Cycle's saga about a duel between Conall Cernach and Cet mac Mágach and the cunning of Bélchú.

Inhalt
In the saga Scéla mucce Meic Dathó ("The Story of Mac Dathó's Pig"), the Connacht warrior Cet mac Mágach argues with Conall Cernach over the hero's bite. The weaker Cet eventually relents, but severely insults Conall. When Cet later kills several warriors during a raid on Ulster, Conall kills Cet in a bloody duel, but is also badly wounded.

A briuga (landowner) named Bélchú takes the injured man to his house, but announces a fight to the death after he recovers. However, knowing Conall's strength in battle, Bélchú instigates his three sons to murder the man sleeping in his bed. Conall, presenting the deed, ties Bélchú to the bed and so he is speared to death by his own sons. Conall then kills all three of them and cuts off the head of the three sons and their father and take them home as trophies
