Is it located on private farmland? Can the public simply go for a walk here? If yes where is the best access point?

Really appreciate your work Sam. But I can see how you are struggling with your breath. Time to give up the smokes. If I done it anyone can.

[@Robbie7441]

Are you allowed to visit the site?

[@shelleyjanewildflower5612]

Yea your allowed

[@soslothful]

It may have been much preferable to not place Christian symbols on a pre-Christian site, to have left the hill in its natural form.

[@fromireland8663]

A bit late for that! What about Christmas, all Souls, St John's night etc. Hill of Slane, Tara Hill.

[@terrybrannigan9963]

agreed. Never too late to take it down.
