About the Area
Kells is a town in County Meath, Ireland. The town lies off
the M3 motorway, 16 km (10 mi) from Navan and 65 km (40 mi) from Dublin. It is
best known as the site of Kells Abbey, from which the Book of Kells takes its
name.
The Kells Monastic Site, with its round tower, is associated
with St Colmcille (also known as Columba), the Book of Kells, now kept at
Trinity College Dublin and the Kells Crozier, exhibited at the British Museum.
The round tower and five large Celtic crosses can still be viewed today. Four
of the crosses are in the churchyard of St Columba's church. The other Celtic
cross was positioned in the middle of a busy crossroads until an accident
involving a school bus. It now stands in front of a former courthouse. A roof
protects the cross from the elements. Curiously, a replica is completely safe
from the elements inside the museum.
Kells Kells Round Tower dates from the 10th century
Close by the graveyard of St. Columba's church stands a
small stone roofed Oratory (St. Colmcille's House). This probably dates from
the 11th century. Access to the monks' sleeping accommodation aloft is by
ladder. This small rectangular building is positioned at one of the highest
points in the town. The Oratory is kept locked, but visitor access can be
arranged.
Just outside the town of Kells on the road to Oldcastle is
the hill of Lloyd, named after Thomas Lloyd of Enniskillen, who camped a large
Williamite army here during the wars of 1688-91 against the Jacobites. Here
also stands a 30m high building called the Spire of Lloyd, which is an
18th-century lighthouse folly, the area around the tower has been developed as
a community park (The People's Park), and includes the Paupers' Grave. This
cemetery was a necessity in the times of great poverty in the country. Mass is
still celebrated there annually and the cemetery is a reminder of the Workhouse
and extreme poverty engendered by changes in farming practice in the 19th
century and during the Famine.
