A micro hidden near a smal park called Scurlogstown Olympiad Heritage Park situated near the historical town of Trim. A nice place to stop off for a picnic or just to stretch the legs while on a day out. Scurlogstown is linked to Viking Battles with the Irish and a paticular local victory by Tighearnach in the 9th century.
A brief Viking history During the years 845 to 850, one of the areas most severely harassed from the Boyne was the sub-kingdom ruled by Tighearnach from a crannog in Loch Gabhor, near Dunshaughlin. Its territory ran right up the Boyne at and about Scurlogstown, and was therefore particularly subject to surprise attacks.
Under the date A.D. 846, the four Masters record:
“A victory was gained by Tighearnach, Lord of Loch Gabhor over the foreigners at Daire-disirt-Dachonna, where twelve score of them were slain by him” O’Donovan explains the place name “i.e. the oak wood of St. Dachonna’s Desert"
