Crossroads at the Swan's public house

Curraha, also written Curragha (Irish: Currach Átha, meaning 'the ford/crossing at the marshy/boggy area'),[1] is a small village located 4.5 km from Ashbourne and 4 km from Ratoath, County Meath, Ireland on the R155 road between Ratoath and the junction with the N2. The built-up area is mainly within Crickstown townland.

The area of Curraha stretches from the road towards Ratoath with the border not far from Ratoath Rugby pitch down to past Kilmoon Cross. It also stretches from Greenpark Bridge over to the N2 (along the 'Bog of Curraha').

The theme park Emerald Park is also located in Curraha.

Bus service

Bus Éireann route 103 comes through the village four times daily (including Sundays) in each direction on its way to/from Emerald Park. In the other direction route 103 continues to Dublin via Ratoath and Ashbourne.
