How could absolute proof be established openly and unquestionably . Torches on the road? geological Surveys? I'm not an expert but that photo is not conclusive. It gives lie to his overall tone which it's nowhere near the place but facts are most useful when they have definitive backup
Has anyone carried out an assessment to prove it can be seen?
a camera strategically placed with a very narrow aperture with shutter open for an hour and a gps device and you'd have proof without having to hire sattelites and all sorts of mumbo jumbo xperts. Witnesses both ends. Then it would be definitive. Do it with a sense of humour, realise and broadcast in advance that you could be very wrong. If you're wrong, you're wrong but it would bring attention to Tara and the other issues. If you're wrong you're wrong no biggie. If you're right then bingo . . anyone up fer it? Would archeologists or pols be let walk the route? It would be dramatic. A live event :-) Start of a soap opera i reckon
Cynical - fair play - would love to do it..
please target the Hill of Tara on this map and post the link here

is not being subsidised to do it in a traditional manner - those huge black cylindrical objects sure detract from the view from the hill - like christo gone mad or bad or dangerous to know or something
robert ballagh is an excellent man for the old graphics
heard he was a supporter of the right side of the issue

Got this under his name by accident - all roads led to tara - very detailed and I can't understand it completely - any significance for defining what 'tara' was. This guy sounds like he has a head on his shoulders.

'The Esker Riada is also known as the Slighe Mór, one of the five great prehistoric roads supposedly converging on Tara. It is referred to in medieval Latin texts as Via Magna, a synonymous term also denoting the Great Road. It is therefore somewhat surprising that this roadway also marked a division between the northern and the southern halves of this island, Leth Chuinn and Leth Moga, a dichotomy which, during the second and third centuries ad, prevailed over the traditional division into four (or sometimes five) provinces.'
Also there was this:
'We now follow Stoneybatter and Manor Street to Stoneybatter village. A plaque on the old village green claims that the ancient Road from Tara to Glendalough passed through here, coming down Prussia Street.'
What is the connection between Tara and the O'Neill s? I know something of the Great O'Neill of Tír Eoghan and Red Hugh O'Donnell (Aodh Rua Ó Domhnaill) but I'd like to know more of this..
Particularly the reference to those O'Neills:
'allegiances were with Meath rather than Leinster'
The piece isn't by or about Robert Ballagh - it's by a german Heritage guy- a search for 'robert ballagh tara' turned it up. There is a place/road called Ballagh.
Twas the reference that caught my attention, not Mr Ballagh.
Must be very important, having a place named after him like that...:-)
