Tara

Each of these sloping hills are about 15 or 20 feet high. On top was a wood and stone fort. These sloping hills have been here for over 3000 years. The center stone is a fertility stone. Numerous fertility stones can be found around Ireland.

Imagine these sloping hills were made over 3000 years ago with out the help of a "Caterpiller" digger. An amazingly peaceful place.
Below is the "Mound of Hostages". Below this mound the cremated remains of over 200 members of the ancient Irish royal family lay.
