Duleek (/duːˈliːk/; Irish: Damhliag, meaning 'stone house or church[2]') is a small town in County Meath, Ireland.

The first Anglo-Norman Lord of Meath, Hugh de Lacy, established a manor and constructed a motte castle at Duleek.

On the opposite side of the village, in the town land of Abbeyland, close to the river Nanny and Duleek House there are ruins of the Grange of Saint Michael.

However, one of the four, the Wayward Cross, was erected in 1601 by Janet Dowdall in memory of her husband, Sir William Bathe of Athcarne Castle, outside the village.

[4] During World War II, or The Emergency, German bombers accidentally struck the village on 1 January 1941, causing minor damage without casualties.
