An earth work next to the graveyard wall made up of concentric rings. They are a complicated jumble and it is really hard to fathom out what they represent.

because of the extent of this monument it is very difficult to see it from the ground, but if you can't manage to fly over Tara then perhaps the best vantage point is from the top of the Mound of the Hostages.
Follow the N3 from Dublin and turn left at the Village of Tara. Take the first right (past Rath Maeve) and the Hill Of Tara is 3 km on the left.
