So how close do you reckon the camps of those that visited the hill were? Do you have knowledge of this? I'm perfectly happy to accept I'm no expert on Ireland but it is clear that at Thornborough these camps were half a mile away. At Thornborough there are good signs that these camps had potential ritual relationships with natural water features in surrounding areas.

We are talking tribal chiefs at Tara. I remember from my four months of sitting in Dublin library reading everything there has been written about Tara since around 1000ce that the armies of the chiefs weren't allowed near the hill. I imagine the only ritual going on in the camps would involve drinking and whoring.
