Geophysical surveys to probe secrets of Hill of Tara

THE “secrets and treasures” of the Hill of Tara are set to be revealed following the most extensive survey of the area in recent years.

The Discovery programme, which is funded by the Heritage Council, is using non- invasive geophysical surveys of the hill as an aid to try and decipher what made Tara so important to our ancestors.

The geophysical survey of the one-time seat of the High Kings of Ireland is a collaboration with NUI Galway.
