8 "County Meath, Ireland"
"Meath (the "middle) was formed from the eastern part of the province of Midhe - see Kings of Mide - but now forms part of Leinster. Historically this province of Meath included all of the current county as well as all of Westmeath and parts of Cavan, Longford,
Louth, Offaly, Dublin and Kildare. The High King of Ireland sat at Tara in Meath. The archaeological complex of Br na Bóinne is 5,000 years old and includes the burial sites of
Newgrange, Knowth and Dowth, in the northeast of the county" -- Reference
