 'Orthostat, the Mound of the Hostages'
Stretching back in time, the Hill of Tara has been the spiritual heart of
Ireland, yet little is known about the site other than what has been gleaned
from the ancient manuscripts, which tell us nothing about how it appeared during
the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age. Although the excavations in the 1950ʼs of
Ráith na Senad and Duma na nGiall; the Mound of the Hostages, by Professor Sean
P. OʼRiordain and Professor Ruaidhri de Valera have given us a glimpse into that
period of history, they merely scratched the surface. It is therefore the
purpose of this paper to examine an ʻhistorical recordʼ that has been overlooked
ever since its discovery nearly sixty years ago... one that is quite literally
carved in stone.
