Skryne or Skreen (from Irish Scrín Cholm Cille, meaning 'Colm Cille's shrine', or originally called The Hill of Acaill)[1] is a village in County Meath, Ireland. On and around a hill between the N2 and N3 roads, it is 10 km south-east of the centre of Navan and 35 km north-west of the centre of Dublin. The village is on the far side of the Gabhra valley from the Hill of Tara (this valley is sometimes referred to as the Tara-Skryne Valley). The Hill of Skryne is higher than the neighbouring Hill of Tara. Skreen gives its name to the surrounding barony, civil parish and townland.[1]
About 1170 Hugh de Lacy, Lord of Meath granted Skryne to Adam de Feypo, whose descendants used the customary title Baron Skryne, which was not a peerage in the strict sense. A 15th-century church, known locally as Skryne tower or The Steeple, remains in good condition at the top of the hill and is visible from a large area of Meath. At the foot of the tower is a pub and stables that feature in the Guinness "white Christmas" television advertisement.
