Ballinderry Gaming Board, National Museum of Ireland
Forty-nine peg holes cover a yew board found at Ballinderry crannog in County Westmeath in 1932. Arcs mark the center and corners. The National Museum of Ireland identifies it with hnefatafl, a Viking Age game in which one side tried to bring its king to safety.
