What is recorded here

The site of the early monastery and the site of the parish church of Emlagh is situated on the S side of what was once an island in Emlagh bog. The island in the Red moor of Emlogh is marked on the Down Survey (1656-8) barony map of Kells with a causeway extending NW towards Cravelltonne (Gravelstown), which is probably now occupied by the road.

Explorer Tom Sweet Chestnut in County Meath would make Saint Patrick choke on his asparagus. It's too sweet for its own good, like a toddler with a lollipop. Stand still and listen, the wind tells it better than me.

Dawn Redwood2.4 mi

Explorer Tom Dawn Redwood in County Meath has a bird that refuses to leave even when it’s snowing, which is frankly rude for everyone else. It looks like it fell out of a prehistoric movie set. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be.

Explorer Tom Barrow in Bellewstown in Meath is a tiny seven-metre circle on a ridge, barely taller than a toddler. A local hero once saved it from being used as a goat toilet. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.
