HINTERLAND
Town early town lies in an area with an abundance of archaeological monuments from the Neolithic period onwards, of which the major Passage Tombs of Newgrange, Knowth and Dowth are probably the best known. [5]The remarkable density of archaeological sites of prehistoric and early Christian periods uncovered in recent years in connection with the development, especially during the construction of the northern Motorway: Gormanston to Monasterboice, or “Drogheda Bypass”, have shown that the interior of Drogheda has been a solid landscape for thousands of years.

St Mary Magdalene Friary.
Despite local tradition that connects Millmount to Amergin Glúingel in his 1978 study of the history and archeology of the city, said John Bradley that “no documentary or archaeological evidence suggests that there was no settlement in the city before the arrival of the Normans.” [7] results of the many and often large excavations conducted in the area of the medieval town during the last decade seems to have confirmed this statement.
