The 'Royal County' of Meath boasts a dramatic history and proud heritage that no other country can match. Man has settled here for over 8,000 years and everywhere one turns one can see surviving monuments and relics scattered profusely beside the rolling rivers and on the lush plains. Formerly one of the five historic provinces of Ireland, it was from here that the ancient roads of Ireland radiated, spreading Royal Meath's influence and affluence to all the corners of Ireland.

Description
Approximately 1 mile from Gormanston is the chapel in which the Lords Gormanston were buried. One tomb, that of a young girl, is called a cadaver tomb as the effigy of the dead person is represented not as she was in her life but as she would look after a few years in the grave.
