Hill of Down
Hill of Down is a townland in County Meath located on the Royal Canal. Previously, there was a railway station on the line between Dublin and Galway/Sligo. There is a shop and post office at Hill of Down. The shop also has a pub and all of these are located next to the bridge over the canal. St. Columba, St. [Brigid of Kildare] and St. Patrick are, according to legend, supposed to be buried within the hill, though this is probably a confusion with the Hill of Down near Downpatrick in the province of Ulster.
