WILD CHERRIES OF NAVAN
Beside the ancient royal site of Navan at Armagh is the mysterious pool known as the King’s stables. Whether or not a king kept his horses here, it is known to be a ritual pool into which offerings where thrown and from which treasure has been recovered.
Around the pool, now somewhat choked by aquatic vegetation, is a bank crowned by cherry trees. These are ancient trees, with wide trunks and spreading branches, shading the pool and adding to its atmosphere of quiet and mystery.
