What is recorded here

Located on a broad, low hill. The parish church of Cushingstown (ME033-016-----) is within a rectangular graveyard (dims c. 75m E-W; c. 55m N-S) defined by picket fences and trees with a masonry wall at W which borders the R152 Ratoath to Duleek road. The graveyard has expanded beyond the original subrectangular one (dims c. 50m N-S; c. 30m E-W), but part of the original perimeter can be seen S of the church in a slightly curved earthen bank incorporated into the modern border. The headstones in the older part of the graveyard date from c. 1780 to the present.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record ME033-016001

PuddenhillHeritage attraction · 937 ydfarm house1003 yd

Explorer Tom Farm house in Roadmain would tell the new build that replaced it to 'grow up' and use corrugated iron with pride. It’s got sash windows that remember when everyone walked. Go back inside your head and appreciate the simplicity.

farmyard complex1597 yd

Explorer Tom Farmyard complex in Hawkinstown was nearly sold for a horse, but the owner had better sense. The cast-iron gates are just there to make you feel like you’re entering a fortress. Go back in winter when the mud is thick enough to sink into.

Newtown HillMountain / peak · 2.1 mi

Explorer Tom Newtown Hill is visible from Fort Pnd Hill and looks like a standard peak. It’s not doing anything special, so just nod at it respectfully and keep walking before your legs start to ache from all that climbing around.

IndicatedGraveyard · 2.4 miWindmill2.5 mi

Explorer Tom Windmill in Garristown stands atop a hillfort with a commanding view that Samuel Lewis really loved describing. It’s a squat tower that probably grinds nothing anymore. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life.

Athcarne CastleCastle, tower house · 2.5 mi

Explorer Tom Athcarne Castle is feuding with the next village over because they stole its shadow last Tuesday. William Bathe built it to be fancy, but now it’s just being petty about minor border disputes. Bring someone who'll believe anything, like me.

European Beech4.1 miThe story of the milk standMemorial · 4.2 miEuropean ash4.3 mi

Explorer Tom European ash in County Meath makes map makers look like amateurs because nobody can seem to find the right path to it. It’s basically hiding from its own fame. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.
