Emain Macha ~ Navan Fort

 

Emain Macha was the ancient seat of the Kings of Ulster and as the main centres of the Red Branch. This royal seat has ancient links with the Goddess Macha, if you click Here you can read a little more of Macha. The site is also referred to as "Ard Macha" which is where Armagh gets its name. The remaining Bank and Ditch holds an area of about 18 Acres but like many of the royal sites would have spread for another mile all round.
