The Navan Centre and Fort, Armagh, Northern Ireland

The Navan Centre and Fort
.................................................................................................................................................

Visit the Navan Centre which interprets one of Ireland's most important
ancient monuments, Navan Fort. This was the Royal seat of the Kings of
Ulster and the province's ancient capital. Start your tour in the 'Vanished
World' of lost myths, travel into the 'Real World' of archaeology and then
enter the 'Other World' to hear the legends of the Ulster Cycle. Visit the
Iron Age/Early Christian period dwelling and through Living History
interpretation, learn about that way of life. Finally, walk the path of history
to the great Ancient Seat of Kings, Navan Fort.
