Kells

Market town in County Meath, Republic of Ireland, 60 km/37 mi northwest of Dublin; population (2002) 1,750. The 8th-century illuminated manuscript Book of Kells (now in Trinity College Library, Dublin) came from a monastery founded here by St Columba in the 6th century. The remnants of the buildings can be seen in the churchyard. The town has an ancient round tower (30 m/99 ft), and there are carved stone crosses in the marketplace. St Columcille's House is a 9th-century stone-roofed two-storey building.

A facsimile of the Book of Kells is displayed in the church. A crosier from Kells is in the British Museum, London. On the summit of the Hill of Lloyd (130 m/428 ft) is a folly resembling a lighthouse, erected in memory of the earl of Bective.
