The Hill of Tara (Irish Teamhair na Rí, Hill of the Kings) was, according to tradition, the seat of the High King of Ireland. It is now an archaeological complex located near the River Boyne, that runs between Navan and Dunshaughlin in County Meath, Leinster. Atop the hill stands a stone pillar that was the Irish Lia Fáil (Stone of Destiny) on which the High Kings of Ireland were crowned: legends suggest that the stone was required to roar three times if the chosen one was a true king.
