Pictured: The Return of the Wickerman at Navan Fort in Armagh

It was a case of igniting your ancient spirit at Navan Centre & Fort in Armagh on Friday night with the celebration of the festival of Lughnasa, with The Return of the Wickerman.

As the clan marks the beginning of the harvest season, they honoured the Celtic Sun God, Lugh, with the awe-inspiring spectacle of the ceremonial burning of the 30ft Wickerman.

The sights and sounds of the evening showcased life in the Iron Age.
