Uisnech
Uisnech Hill is considered the omphalos (mystical navel) of Éire, the country known by the English name Ireland, whereupon rests a great stone (Ail na MĂrenn, which means “stone of divisions”) marked with lines indicating the provincial borders of Connacht, Leinster, Ulster and Munster. Tradition tells that Uisnech was a site favored for Beltane fires and Druidical ceremonies, in fact being considered second only to Emain Macha.
