Hill of Tara

Hill of Tara (irski: Cnoc na Teamhrach, Teamhair ili Teamhair na Rí; doslovno: "Brdo Tara") je naziv za brdo u Irskoj smješteno u blizini rijeke Boyne, između Navana i Dunshaughlina u Grofoviji Meath u Leinsteru. Predstavlja arheološki kompleks s brojnim drevnim spomenicima, a prema tradiciji je predstavljalo sjedište Árd Rí na hÉireanna, odnosno Velikog kralja Irske.

Dio historičara vjeruje da Tara nije bila pravo sjedište kraljevske vlasti, nego tek sakralno mjesto vezano uz rituale, dok drugi smatraju kako je takav status stekla tek zahvaljujući naknadnoj mitologiji.
