The Celtic Royal City of Tara has two hilltops - Tara and Skreen (aka Skryne, Scrin and Achall) and between these two hills is a valley that is sacred to the Celtic Horse Goddess. The river in this high valley is called the Gabhra (see Tara na Ri tab for more info) and the translation of its oldest name means White Mare. THe White Mare was sacred to the Celtic Iron Age Sons of Mil who came to Ireland about 2,500 years ago. The previous group was the Bronze Age and they had the White Cow as a symbol of the Goddess - Boann or River Boyne.
The images that follow include Rath Lugh, a horseshoe shaped defensive ringfort inside the City of Tara. Only one hundered acres on top of Tara Hill are in state care. But the city is huge - 5 miles wide and 4 miles north - south. Opus Dei are lodged in Lismullen circular enclosure, but just like the churches on Tara and Skreen hills are decommissioned and unused - so too will the Masonic Church of Opus Dei become defunct. There was a lake and a boathouse on the Gabhra - but this it is not possible to photograph this, there are native wild trees - huge mature beech and oak on Rath Lugh. People should seek out the River Gabhra - dedicated to Edain Echraidhe our Celtic Horse Goddess and ask UNESCO to Save Tara Valley.
