''The old Irish political system was altered during and after the [[Tudor conquest of Ireland|Elizabethan conquest]], being gradually replaced by a system of [[barony (Ireland)|baronies]] and [[counties]] under the new colonial system. Due to a loss of knowledge, there has been some confusion regarding old territorial units in Ireland, mainly between ''trícha céta'' and ''túatha'', which in some cases seem to be overlapping units, and in others, different measurements altogether.<ref name=historyireland>[https://www.historyireland.com/medieval-history-pre-1500/medieval-irish-political-and-economic-divisions/ Medieval Irish Political and Economic Divisions], History Ireland</ref> The ''trícha céta'' were primarily for reckoning military units; specifically, the number of fighting forces a particular population could rally.<ref name=Dillon/> Some scholars equate the ''túath'' with the modern parish, whereas others equate it with the barony. This partly depends on how the territory was first incorporated into the county system. in cases where [[surrender and regrant]] was the method, the match between the old ''túath'' and the modern barony is reasonably equivalent., Whereaswhereas in cases like [[Ulster]], which involved large scale colonisation and confiscation of land, the shape of the original divisions is not always clear or recoverable.<ref name=historyireland />
