At the northern side of the village, the Delvin River marks the boundary with County Meath. Naul is also a civil parish in the historic barony of Balrothery West.[2] Location and GeographyThe village is a crossroads between the R122 and R108 regional roads, the latter being the traditional route between Dublin and the port of Drogheda, while the R122 travels from Finglas in the south to Balbriggan.[3]{{rp|2}} The River Delvin passes Naul to the north, with cliffs of about 20 metres at one point, a small natural waterfall, and an artificial pond and cascade with a small private hydroelectric plant.[4]{{rp|2}} HistoryThe area is thought to have been occupied since the Stone Age – archaeological finds include numerous prehistoric earthworks, and the nearby megalithic passage tomb and chambered cairns at Fourknocks, around 2.5 km north into Meath from the village, and discovered in 1949 on the lands of Thomas Connell. Four prehistoric tumuli, or mounds, were discovered. They contain a chamber wider than the one at Newgrange, and within the passage are strange stone engravings, indicating that the chambers were built about 4,000 years ago.[5] There was also a "White Castle", of which nothing now remains. Built in the 13th century, it was the home of Richard Caddell, whose descendants were evicted by Cromwell's forces. The Caddell family were still around in the 19th century, indicated by a monument known locally as Caddell's Folly, erected for unknown reasons during the period by another Richard Caddell. The "White Castle" originally had inside stairs leading to the roof on which there was a powerful telescope. According to legend, Caddell watched the Bellewstown Races through the telescope, because he had had a disagreement with the race committee and vowed never to be seen in the area again. NameThe name is anglicised from the Irish An Aill meaning "The Cliff" as there is a substantial cliff on either side of the River Delvin just outside the village. Locally, the village is still known as The Naul as a throwback to the original Irish name, although this is not recognised officially. Séamus Ennis Arts CentreThe Séamus Ennis Arts Centre (SEAC) was officially opened on 23 October 2001. It promotes and develops the traditional arts, and it organises and hosts regular recitals, music sessions, workshops and classes. The idea for a cultural centre based on the achievements of Séamus Ennis had its origins in the Scoil Shéamuis Ennis, a festival held every October in the Naul area. It is a non-profit organisation set up to:
