Manannán had other magical items according to the ''Oidheadh Chloinne Tuireann'', a romance that only survives in early Modern Irish recensions.{{sfnp|Bruford|1966|p=264}}

He had a self-navigating boat called "Manannán's [[currach]]" (coracle), {{lang|ga|Sguaba Tuinne}}<ref name="oduffy-sguaba" /> ({{lang|sga|Scuab-tuinne}}{{sfnp|O'Curry|1863|pp=191–192}}) or 'Wave-sweeper'<ref name="joyce-oct-wavesweeper" /> was self-navigating, as well as a horse that could travel over land or sea called Aonbharr of Manannan,<ref name="oduffy-sguaba" />{{sfnp|O'Curry|1863|pp=191–192}} translated in popular re-telling as "[[Enbarr]] of the Flowing Mane".<ref name="joyce-oct-wavesweeper" />{{efn|Note that Scuab-tuinné is not in O'Curry's Irish text and is interpolated by him. He glosses Scuab-tuinné as the 'besom or the sweeper of the waves'.}} Both the horse and boat were on loan to [[Lugh Lamhfada]], but the [[Brian (mythology)|Sons of Tuireann]] managed to borrow the boat.{{sfnp|O'Curry|1863|pp=191–192}}

Manannán also supplied Lugh with a full array of armor and weapon as the [[Tuatha Dé]] gathered their host to battle the [[Fomorians]]. Lugh rode Manannán's steed Aonbharr, and was girt with Manannán's sword [[Fragarach]] ("Retaliator"{{sfnp|O'Curry|1863|pp=162–163}} or "The Answerer"{{sfnp|Joyce|1894|p=38}}).{{Refn|Only rendered into English as "Freagarthach" by O'Duffy.<ref name="oduffy-fragarach" />}} Any wound this sword gave proved fatal, and its opponent was reduced to the weakness of a woman in [[childbirth]].<ref name="oct-fragarch">{{harvp|O'Curry|1863|pp=162–163}}, {{harvp|O'Duffy|1888|p=71}}, {{harvp|Joyce|1894|p=38}}</ref>{{sfnp|Spaan|1965|p=176}}

Lug also wore Manannán's helmet Cathbarr,<ref name="oduffy-fragarach" /> which O'Curry amends to Cennbhearr, which he regards as a common noun and not a proper name.<ref>{{harvp|O'Curry|1863|pp=}}, pp. 162 (Irish only); 176–177; note 177.</ref>{{refn|group="lower-alpha"|"Canbarr" in Joyce's retelling.{{sfnp|Joyce|1894|p=49}}}} This helm was set with two precious gems on the front and one in the rear.{{sfnp|O'Curry|1863|pp=162–163}} Manannán's {{lang|ga|lúirech}} or body armour<ref name="dil-luirech" />{{efn|{{harvp|O'Curry|1863|pp=162–163}}: "Manannan's Lorica"; {{harvp|O'Duffy|1888|p=71}} "armour of Manannain" (note genitive).}} and Manannán's ''scabal'' ([[gorget|neck-piece]]<ref name="dil-luirech" /> or [[breastplate]]<ref>{{harvp|O'Curry|1863|pp=162–163}}; {{harvp|O'Duffy|1888|p=71}}</ref>) were also part of Lugh's panoply.<ref name="oct-fragarch" />
