DUNMOE, a parish, in the barony of MORGALLION, county of MEATH, and province of LEINSTER, 2 miles (N.N.E.) from Navan, on the road to Slane; containing 112 inhabitants.

The castle was built by Hugh de Lacy, and in 1641 was surrendered by Capt. Power to the insurgents, in obedience to a forged order from the Lords-Justices. It was partly rebuilt in the 17th century, and is an oblong massive pile, flanked with towers at the angles, now belonging to the D'Arcy family.

The parish is in the diocese of Meath; it is a rectory, forming part of the union of Stackallen, and
the tithes amount to £81. 10.

In the R.C. divisions it is part of the union or district of Slane.
