Gabhra or Tara-Skryne is an area in County Meath in Ireland. The name was coined by people objecting to the M3 motorway currently under construction. It is situated between the hills of Tara and Skryne.
According to some versions of Cath Gabhra, a narrative from the Fenian Cycle of Irish mythology, Gabhra was the site of the Battle of Gabhra circa 284, where the power of the Fianna was broken by the High King Cairbre Lifechair. The story is contained in the Book of Leinster.
