On #Lughnasa each year at Teltown, on the River Blackwater in Co. #Meath, a great óenach or assembly of the tribes was held, devoted to trading, match making, and celebration as well as to ritual athletic contests appropriate to the season. Horseracing may have been part of the festivities and there are legends that teams swam across the nearby river as dawn broke.

On the central axis of this map, two places called #Regia are marked. I assume that these indicate the seats of the High King in #Tara, Co. #Meath, and that of the Provincial King of #Connacht in #Crúachain. #Rhaeba could refer to #CnocAilinne in Co. #Kildare as the seat of the provincial king. #Macolicum could stand for the 4th provincial capital in #Munster. Ptolemy's #Regia in #Ulster, #EmainMacha, is sadly missing, as is the spiritual centre of #Éire on the #HillOfUisneach.
