Dungannon

The seat of the O'Neills, earls of Tyrone, and so the capital of Gaelic Ulster until the Flight of the Earls in 1607 emptied it. Hugh O'Neill burned his own castle here rather than leave it standing for the Crown.

• Beaghmore stone circles · Seven stone circles, a dozen cairns and rows of tiny 'dragon's teeth' stones, hidden under bog for 3,500 years until turf-cutters found them in the 1940s.
• Navan Fort (Emain Macha) · Capital of the Ulaid and stage of the Ulster sagas — where a huge timber temple was built, filled with stones and deliberately burned around 95 BC.
• The Yellow Ford · August 1598: Hugh O'Neill destroys an English army marching to relieve the Blackwater fort — the worst defeat England ever suffered in Ireland.
• Benburb · June 1646: Owen Roe O'Neill's Spanish-trained army annihilates Monro's Scots on the Blackwater — the greatest Irish victory of the Confederate wars.
• Emain Macha — the Red Branch · Court of King Conchobar and the Red Branch knights; where the boy Sétanta killed Culann's hound and became Cú Chulainn, 'the Hound of Culann'.
• Emain Macha — Macha's curse · Forced to race the king's horses while pregnant, Macha cursed the men of Ulster to suffer birth-pangs in their hour of greatest need — which is why one boy fought the Táin alone. The site bears her name.
• Emain Macha — Deirdre of the Sorrows · Deirdre, promised to King Conchobar, fled with Naoise; when he was killed on their return to Emain she died of grief. In some tellings, yew trees grew from the two graves and twined together.

All of these are pinned on the Hidden Ireland map.
