The story goes that the first inhabitants of Brúgh na Bóinne were the goddess Bóann and her husband Nuada Nechtan, otherwise known as Elcmar, "the envious one".
When Elcmar returned, believing that only a day and night had passed, he remained ignorant of events, as the Dagda had taken Aonghus to the rath (fort) of Midhir, where he was trained to be a champion hurler.
Elcmar then called on the Dagda to give his judgement over the situation, and the Dagda ruled that "it is indeed in day and night that all time is spent".

 The Wooing of Etain, Part 1
Well, Elcmar was a land-owning chieftain under Eochy's influence, so he got sent off on some bogus diplomatic mission or other—checking on the price of grapes in Norway or some jerkoff thing.
Then, while Elcmar was away, Eochy cast a long distance spell on him, making him lose total track of time; he couldn't recognize the difference between night and day or see the position of the sun in the sky.
The upshot of all this hexing was that Elcmar was gone for almost a whole year, but it only seemed to him to be a few hours.

Nuada is probably the same as Elcmar, whose characteristic in several tales of gods is to be overcome, either by the Dagda - one of the three supreme gods, type of the great ancestor, paternal and kingly - or by the Dagda's son, Oengus.
The name Elcmar means, by common consent, "the envious one"; and we are reminded of the ambitious and immoderate character that goes so well with natural defeat in the class of teyrnedd and tyranni

Newgrange, although known extensively in ancient Irish texts, was not rediscovered until 1699, 9 years after the downfall of the Stuart cause at the disastrous Battle of the Boyne when William of Orange was triumphant.
This is perhaps mythically significant, since Brugh na Boinne changed hands at the beginning of its mythology from Elcmar to Oengus mac ind Dha og (Angus mac Og), just as the Stuart King, James II ceded place to the new dynasty of Orange.

Boann returned his favour and would have lain with him, but she feared the wrath of her husband, the powerful Lord Elcmar.
For the space of nine months, Elcmar felt no thirst or hunger, and perceived neither the brightness of the day nor the flness of the night.
The problem is not that these two wish to have an illicit affair; the problem is that her husband's feelings will be hurt, and his pride stung because something that belongs to him acted without his knowledge or consent.
