The preserved embankment |
Rath Maeve Henge The Henge named after Queen Maeve, also spelled Medbh, originally measured approximately 250 metres (750 feet) in diameter. It is appalling to see a huge site like this one, which is obviously connected to Tara neglected in this way. All that remains now is a fairly well preserved embankment near the road leading to Tara, which is 500 metres north of here. Medbh Lethderg (Red-side) was the Goddess of sovereignty at Tara. She was the wife of nine succesive kings. |
