The town land of Ardmulchan hugs one of the most beautiful bends on the River Boyne between Navan and Slane. For the most part the area was retained by Hugh de Lacy until sometime at the end of the 12th century. This was at a time when defense of the Boyne was vital to the establishment of the Norman colony in Meath. A substantial motte was built, along with a church and several chapels rebuilt on pre Norman foundations. The church tower may be as early as 13th or 14th century. The present ruins of the church seem to be 15th century.
The ruins of Ardmulchan Church and Graveyard lie on an elevated site overlooking the River Boyne. The Church's remains include, at the west end, a handsome square bell tower. The tower's ground floor is almost intact, vaulted with a stairway. Very little else of the original building remains but the site offers breath-taking views of the Boyne's historical landscape.
