## Architectural heritage (National Inventory of Architectural Heritage)

- Brú na Bóinne Visitor Centre, heritage centre/interpretative centre, 1995–2000, Regional interest, registry number 14402015, https://www.buildingsofireland.ie/niah/search.jsp?type=record&county=ME&regno=14402015. Detached muiltiple-bay multiple-storey interpretative centre, c.1997. Built on an irregular plan and constructed using a variety of materials including structural steel, reinforced concrete and the extensive use of plate glass. Built into the eastern bank of the River Boyne and designed to give the impression that it is sunken into the landscape. This is achieved by the presence of mounds of earth, almost like Neolithic cairns, on the roof of the structure. A steel built suspension bridge and winding spiral pathways link the vistor centre to the archaeological complex across the River Boyne.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
