Here was held the Synod of Patrick, the Synod of Ruadhan and Brendan, and lastly, the Synod of Adamnan.

The next existing monument which has been identified with certainty, is the _Teach-Miodhchuarta_, or Banqueting Hall, so famous in Irish history and bardic tradition.

This was also the great house of the thousand soldiers, and the place where the _Fes_ or triennial assemblies were held.

It had fourteen doors--seven to the east and seven to the west.
Its length, taken from the road, is 759 feet, and its breadth was probably about 90 feet.

Kenneth O'Hartigan is the great, and indeed almost the only authority for the magnificence and state with which the royal banquets were held herein.
