In Irish mythology the Hill of Uisneach, which is about 17.7 kilometres west of Mullingar and two kilometres from the village of Loughanavally was generally considered to be the ceremonial and ancient spiritual centre of Ireland, though at times the Hill of Tara was also regarded in a similar manner.
The Hill of Uisneach is the nearest of the alternative historical locations to the location calculated by the OSI and is approximately 5 kilometres south east in a direct line from the Hill of Uisneach.
