Hill of Down
Townland in County Meath, Ireland
Hill of Down (Irish: Cnoc an Dúin) 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 (Trim to Kinnegad Road). 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.
