Hill of Tara IR - Cnoc na Teamhrach - a photo on Flickriver

            The Hill of Tara (Irish: Teamhair or Cnoc na Teamhrach) is a hill and ancient ceremonial and burial site near Skryne in County Meath, Ireland. According to tradition, it was the inauguration place and seat of the High Kings of Ireland, and it also appears in Irish mythology. Tara consists of numerous monuments and earthworks—from the Neolithic to the Iron Age—including a passage tomb (the "Mound of the Hostages"), burial mounds, round enclosures, a standing stone (believed to be the Lia Fáil or "Stone of Destiny"), and a ceremonial avenue. There is also a church and graveyard on the hill. Tara is a protected national monument and is part of a larger ancient landscape.

The name 'Tara' is an anglicization of the Irish name Teamhair or Cnoc na Teamhrach ("hill of Tara"). It is also known as Teamhair na Rí ("Tara of the kings"), and formerly also Liathdruim ("the grey ridge").. The Old Irish form is Temair. It is believed this comes from Proto-Celtic *Temris and means a "sanctuary" or "sacred space" cut off for ceremony, cognate with the Greek temenos and Latin templum. Another suggestion is that it means "a height with a view".
