Hill of Uisneach
County Westmeath, Ireland
Uisneach's mythological traditions have a strong association with Lugh. Tradition connects him with the landscape around the hill, including Lough Lugh near its summit. The site provides a real landscape connection to Lugh himself rather than claiming that the Celtic Clash spear is a surviving historical object.
