The Hill of Tara in County Meath was once home to the High Kings of ancient Ireland. The oldest evidence visible today of it being an important site is the Mound of the Hostages, a passage tomb dating from approximately 3000BC. Nearby stands the Lia Fáil, a standing stone and said to be the stone by which the High Kings of Ireland were inaugurated. According to legend, the stone would shout out if a rightful Kind was chosen.
