Setanta’s Challenge is the first of the two bilingual Navan Fort heritage apps. Setanta’s Challenge aims to bring the rich mythological heritage of Navan Fort to life for the under-12s. The app features an interactive treasure hunt and video footage that recount the adventures of Setanta/ Cú Chulainn at Navan Fort.
King Conor and his men are suffering from the curse of Macha and are trapped at the top of the mound. You must find Cú Chulainn’s weapons which are hidden around the fort to defeat Meabh’s spies and free King Conor and his men.
The following gallery contains photographs from filming Setanta’s Challenge video sequences. Antaine filmed the video for the app with the help of the Irish Arms …
