Clarkstown radio transmitter, Radio transmitter structure in County Meath, Ireland
The Clarkstown Radio Transmitter stood 248 meters tall with a triangular cross-section steel framework mast insulated from the ground near Summerhill village.
The transmitter began operations in 1988 with two 300-kilowatt Continental transmitters for Atlantic 252 broadcasts at 252 kHz frequency through the Irish territory.
The structure represented a milestone in Irish telecommunications, enabling broader radio coverage and connecting communities across the region through enhanced broadcasting capabilities.
Located at coordinates 53.462649 latitude and -6.677589 longitude, the transmitter operated at 500 kilowatts during daytime and reduced power to 100 kilowatts at night.
The facility included a copper-lined ground system to increase conductivity and served as RTÉ Radio 1's only AM service after the Tullamore transmitter closure.
