What is recorded here

Situated on a rise in a fairly level landscape in the valley of the NW-SE River Blackwater, with the stream c. 1km to the E. The parish church of Martry (ME017-037----) is in a subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 50-65m E-W; c. 40m N-S) defined by masonry walls that has been extended (dims c. 50m E-W; c. 15m N-S) on the N side. According to Dopping's Visitation (1682-5) the graveyard was fenced at that time (Ellison 1972, 11).

Martry MillMill (water) · 1188 yd

Explorer Tom Martry Mill bragged about surviving a storm that supposedly flattened half of County Meath, though I suspect it just got lucky. The waterwheel still spins for the tourists who don’t check the dates. If it rains, blame my imagination!

BallybegMountain / peak · 1.1 miTuliptree1.2 mi

Explorer Tom Tuliptree in County Meath made a New Year's resolution to stop looking so fancy. It failed spectacularly, of course, because it's just that pretty. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life.

Saint Patrick's Church (Donaghpatrick)Church/chapel · 1.7 mi

Explorer Tom Saint Patrick's Church (Donaghpatrick) was designed by a mother-in-law who liked her windows with stained glass and her walls thick. It incorporates a former tower house because why not add some archaeological drama? Go in good boots and be ready for a lecture on limestone quality.

Explorer Tom The Round Tower in Town Parks nearly got sold for a horse back in the day. A king was murdered inside it, so the vibes are a bit intense. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.
