Tara: An Archaeological Survey
Tara: An Archaeological Survey
This book gives the first complete report of Tara, the County Meath complex that is one of the most important archaeological sites in Ireland. It covers a combination of topographical, geophysical, aerial, geochemical and paper surveys. Fully illustrated with photographs and drawings, this book explains the significance of a site perhaps best known, from Celtic mythology, as the seat of the High Kings of Ireland. The book also proposes for the first time a model for the chronological development of its structures.
