Uí Maine, or Hy Many, was centered in eastern Co. Galway and southern Roscommon. John O'Donovan in his work the Tribes and Customs of Hy Maine states the ancient territory of Úi Maini comprised; in county Roscommon the baronies of Ballymoe, Ballintober South, Athlone and Moycarn; and in county Galway the baronies of Ballymoe, Tiaquin, Killian, Kilconnell, Clonmacnowen, Longford, Leitrim, Loughrea, and parts of Dunkellin and Athenry; and in county Clare, part of Tulla Upper.; and in King's Co. (co. Offaly) the parish of Lusmagh.
The Annals of Ireland describes Ath na ríogh, Athenry in co. Galway, as the ford where the territories of Aidne, Ui Maine, and Ui Briúin Seola meet.
