What is recorded here
Circular-plan tapered stone beacons, built c.1800, with conical caps.
These beacons where built to guide traffic along the Boyne estuary and into Drogheda Port. This area of Meath has a long tradition of sea-trading and fishing and this adds to the historical interest of the structures.
