Meigh

Murphy's Bar in the middle of Meigh

Meigh (from Irish Máigh/an Mhaigh, meaning 'the plain')[1] is a small village and townland near Slieve Gullion in County Armagh, Northern Ireland. It had a population of 444 people in the 2001 Census. It lies within the Newry, Mourne and Down District Council area.

Geography

Meigh lies within the Ring of Gullion area of natural beauty, about 7 km southwest of Newry. Nearby villages include Camlough, Dromintee and Jonesborough. Meigh is close to the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

History

Meigh began as a cluster of buildings around the crossroads formed by Drumintee Road, Newry Road, Chapel Road and Railway Road.[citation needed]

Meigh, along with the rest of South Armagh, would have been transferred to the Irish Free State had the recommendations of the Irish Boundary Commission been enacted in 1925.[2]

In the 2000s, many new houses and businesses were built.[citation needed]
