About This Book
"Beside the Boyne River are sited some of the world's most ancient and mysterious monuments: ... prehistoric passage graves; Tara, seat of Ireland's High Kings; the monastery of Kells; Monasterboice with its Celtic crosses. The Battle of the Boyne was fought on its banks ... Swift and Stella both lived near the Boyne ... this book describes the places, peoples and legends of the Boyne." -- Back cover.
The valley of the Boyne River lies pre-eminently in county Meath. The last seven miles of the river as it flows to the sea forms the border between Meath and Louth. Drogheda and Monasterboice, both in county Louth, are prominently treated by the author, as well as the many sites in county Meath.
