Moynalty (Irish: Maigh nEalta, meaning 'the plain of the flocks[1]') is a village in the north-west of County Meath in Ireland.

It is located at the junction of the R194 and R164 regional roads 8 km (5 mi) north of Kells, near the border with County Cavan.

[2] According to the Annals of the Four Masters, the name Mágh nEalta was introduced into Ireland about 2000 BC when Partholon, a Greek, gave that name to a treeless fertile plain in Dublin.

That grandson John Arthur completed the building of Moynalty Village in 1837 and it is to some extent based on a Swiss design.

[6] Bus Éireann routes 108 and 186 provide 8 journeys a day (fewer on Sundays) to Kells and three journeys a day (one on Sundays) to Bailieborough in County Cavan via Mullagh[7] Onward connections to Dublin and Dublin Airport are available at Kells.
