The Hill of Tara, located near the River Boyne, is an archaeological
complex that runs between Navan and Dunshaughlin in County Meath,
Leinster, Ireland. It contains a number of ancient monuments, and,
according to tradition, was the seat of Árd Rí na hÉireann, or the High
King of Ireland. Recent scholarship claims that despite the rich
narratives derived from mythologies, Tara was not so much a true seat of
kingship, but a sacral site associated with kingship rituals.
