Even a child would have found a better route for M3

I VISITED the Hill of Tara and surrounding heritage-rich area recently. The ancient Bronze Age hillfort of Rath Lugh, just across the Gabhra valley from Tara, is itself an imposing structure and lies directly in the path of the proposed motorway.

Already this hill has been partly damaged by the diggers.

Rath Lugh fort itself is more than 100 yards across and sits among other smaller forts on a glacial esker rising approximately 100 feet above the valley floor.
