Crossakiel or Crossakeel (Irish: Crosa Caoil, meaning "the crosses of Caol") is a village in County Meath, Ireland.
[1][2] Following the Siege of Drogheda in 1649, it is believed that during his conquest of Ireland, Oliver Cromwell surveyed the view over the nearby townland of Clonabreany from Crossakiel Hill, when he gave 2,000 acres of land that was previously owned by the Plunkett family to the Wade family, which resulted in the construction of a Norman castle and settlement.
The Tremblestown River, which is located around 1.1 km west of the village is a tributary of the Kells Blackwater.
The church was deconsecrated on 26 January 1962, with Meath County Council taking ownership in 1981.
[6][7] Traditionally the village was not served by a public transport service, with nearby connections at Athboy, Kells and Oldcastle.
