wcdarling visited on 19th Nov 2018 - their rating: Cond: 5 Amb: 5 Access: 4 While I was visiting the site to see the larger Hill of Tara and its stones, tomb and earthworks, I was excited when our tour guide pointed these out as well. They are located in the old churchyard next to St. Patrick’s, a 19th century church, now deconsecrated. The church is the nearest site to the parking lot so they’re easy to see. While on a grassy rise, they ground in front of them is flat and I would say it’s accessible.
