Visiting the Hill of Slane in County Meath, Ireland
07/12/2015
The Hill of Slane in the Boyne Valley is within sight of the Hill of Tara. Rumored to be a spot where St. Patrick lit a Pascal fire in 433 A.D., the Hill of Slane currently has the ruins of a friary church, including a 62-foot high early gothic tower. The friary was abandoned in 1723 but the adjoining churchyard contains new burials.
