The ancient Site of the Celtic Kings of Ireland lies 15 Km from Athboy, it is easy to see why they chose it as the view from any side is spectacular. Here is the Kings Hall, the Hostage mound and the Lia Fial, the crying stone, used by the Irish Kings for coronation ceremonies. The other stone was take from this site and used by British Kings up to Elizabeth II in 1953, it was the coronation stone, under the throne at Westminster abbey, The Brits have since given it back to the Scots, and it resides in Edinburugh, Some want to know when the Scots will give it back to Ireland...
