Our last touristy thing of the trip was a quick visit to the Hill of Tara, one of the most important crowning sites for the ancient kings of Ireland. For the last time, TripAdvisor:
"You can truly feel history in the earth at Tara; this is where the kings of Ireland were crowned for centuries. The site contains several burial mounds and large fields perfect for assembly, even some Christian sites. Also, some very good views of the surrounding countryside."
Old burial chamber.
Some heathen, or possibly papist mumbo-jumbo. It looks like one of those clootie wells I've seen in Scotland.
This sloping field was reportedly the actual place of crowning.
Naturally, I was skeptical of Tara (my buddy & travel companion Massimo in the back).
