I don't think you'll find much in the way of maps with boundaries of the various tribal lands. At least nearly all of those I've seen just "plop-down" a tribal name into an area on an outline map, where those people were presumed to live. There are many of such maps. The www.wesleyjohnson.com website has several of them. Here are a few books that might be of interest: Early Medieval Ireland, by Daibhi O Croinin (5 fadas missing <gr>), has a couple of maps. Early Christian Ireland, by T.M. Charles-Edwards has quite a few maps. A New History of Ireland, II - Medieval Ireland, edited by Art Cosgrove, has an interesting map of political divisions in Ireland in 1169. The Church and the Two Nations in Medieval Ireland, by J.A. Watt has an interesting map of the Diocesan structure of Ireland in the 13th century. A History of Medieval Ireland, by A.J. Otway-Ruthven, has a map of Grants in northern Munster in 1185. The Medieval Churches of County Offaly, by FitzPatrick and O'Brien, has an interesting map showing the "conjectured tribal boundaries". Atlas of the Irish Rural Landscape, editors Aalen, Whelan and Stout, doesn't seem to have specific maps for you, but it's a book that anyone interested in Irish history should have. It's an amazing book. I don't have any of my usual 500 or so Favorites available, as my regular computer...with over 8000 letters, also, has been in intensive care for the last two weeks. The first operation was a disaster, and the computer went from "operable, but slow" before the tech guy got to it, to completely inoperable and resembling humpty-dumpty after the fall. So I'm on a back-up computer, with absolutely zero long-term memory in it. I may have more books with a few maps here or there. If I come across any more, I'll let you know. .............................................................................. ...
