actually a prehistoric thru 5th or 6th century
quadripoint
but described as such by ptolemy in 82ad

the 4 ancient provinces of connaught leinster munster
& ulster were
probably more or less as shown here against the
counties of today

the original navel & quadripoint at uisneach is 9
miles west of mullingar
shown here at center

there is even the suggestion that the quadripoint
later became a sort of quintipoint with meath or
middle province
hence ei2colememuul
but this was evidently more a mystical than a
geopolitical fact
