What is recorded here

One Meath graveyard holds a round tower, four high crosses and enough medieval carving to fill a region, all crammed inside walls two metres high. Followers of Colm Cille built the stone church there, later raising it to cathedral rank before it settled back into parish life. The crosses still stand where processions once moved, preserving a density of early Christian art that borders on the impossible.
Located towards the top of the E-facing slope of a drumlin. The church of Drumbride (ME003-009----) is within a rectangular graveyard (dims c. 40m WNW-ESE; c. 32m NNE-SSW) defined by earthen banks with burials dating from c. 1780-c. 1960. The motte (ME003-010----) is c. 30m to the E. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 30 July, 2014
