• LH024-041006 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  Probable tower house, commonly called the Old Tholsel or Castle of Comfort (D'Alton 1844, vol. 1, 100-1), lay at the foot of the hill on the Meath side of the River Boyne and is shown on Newcomen's map of 1657 (D'Alton 1844, vol. 1, 285). No visible surface trace. The above description is derived from both the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986) and the 'Archaeological Survey of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1991). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 17 July 2007

• LH024-041009 Castle - motte and bailey
  Description

  The following description is derived from both the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986) and the 'Archaeological Survey of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1991). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Situated on high ground to the S of the River Boyne within the medieval walls of Drogheda and consisting of a high steep mound (H 14.7-16m, max. diam. at base 62.5m, at summit 27.6m) with the remains of a D-shaped bailey (Wth 68m by 50m) at the W. Orpen (1908; fig. on p. 249) illustrates the bailey fosse and the line of part of another one at the SE side of the motte which is now occupied by a roadway. He also illustrates a sub-rectangular lower bailey at the NW but there is no surface evidence of this. The name 'Millmount' (the name applied to the site on the OS 6-inch map) is apparently derived from the fact that there was a windmill erected on the motte in the fifteenth century. This was replaced in 1810 by a Martello tower (IFC Schools MSS vol. 680, 200), the remains of which still stand on the summit of the motte. The bailey is clearly defined on all but the N side by a steep escarpment and is now occupied by a housing development. A wall marking the line of the so-called lower bailey is of modern origin and is hardly part of the original defences as the N side of the D-shaped bailey is likely to have returned onto the NW side of the motte. (Orpen 1908, 246-50; CLAJ 1931, 406; CLAJ 1943, 243-4)

• LH024-041010 Church
  Description

  The following description is derived from both the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986) and the 'Archaeological Survey of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1991). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Situated within the SE angle of the town walls, this was the parish church of Drogheda in Meath established by Hugh de Lacy before 1186. A priory was in existence here by 1309 (Gwynn and Hadcock 1988, 288). There appear to be no obvious remains of this foundation surviving, but there are ruins of a small structure immediately to the S of the modern church. However, this is featureless and is unlikely to date to the medieval period. (Bradley 1984b, 94-6)

• LH024-041047 Kiln - lime
  Description

  A small cruciform limekiln, discovered prior to road construction (Excavation Licence No. E0210). Found in association with a stretch of the town wall and was most likely used in wall construction. Suggested date of use is late thirteenth-century. (Campbell 1987, 54) Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 28 August 2012

  Thought to have come originally from the Priory of St. John (LH024-041008-) and in Millmount Museum. It consists of a figure 'carved in high relief on block of sandstone and quite weathered. Behind head of figure three contiguous hollow ovals. Large neckless head, two irregular depressions for eyes, no nose, mouth indicated by slit. No breasts; necklace with pendant pointing at long narrow slit, indicating vulva. Arms in front of body with hands touching vulva, and deep touch-hole underneath' (Freitag 2004, 131).

• LH024-041113 House - medieval
  Description

  A section of the town wall (see LH024-041014-) together with an area of cobbling, a small structure of unknown use and a medieval house were all uncovered in 2003 at the former Campbell's, Lakelands Dairy, and McGowan's Engineering properties and included a short street called Graves' Lane (Excavation Licence number 03E0688). The remains of the medieval house were excavated at the western end of the site, between Graves' Lane and South Quay. 'The northern wall of this house was on the edge of the river and had survived to a height of 1.68m above ground level as part of the river wall. A central round-headed doorway gave access to the river. At either end of this wall was a garderobe in a curved alcove. When the south wall of the house was excavated, a garderobe chute, perhaps from an upper floor, was found, discharging into a lintelled drain which sloped down to meet one of the garderobe chutes in the north wall. The west wall had been subjected to numerous alterations and repairs, but patches of original masonry survived above ground level, including three chamfered stones which probably originally formed the side of a window. The overall dimensions of the house were c. 20.5m by 7.5m. A number of putlog holes were visible, and one of the stone corbels which would have held the soleplates for the first floor survived. The foundations of two walls aligned with either side of the central doorway were found, and in places there were remains of a floor consisting of cobbles with a thin plaster or mortar layer over it; this appeared to be contemporary with the doorway. Behind this house were the remains of a later stone extension and some more recent brick structures, including brick floors with a thick layer of coal dust. To the south of this house, further inland from the present river edge, a post-and-wattle fence was found, forming a revetment behind which was a thick deposit of black organic soil containing wood chips and fragments of rope, textile, leather and pottery. To the north of the revetment was grey silt mixed with black organic material alternating with layers of pure silt. This revetment was not found in another trial-trench to the west, where the ground level was higher, so it must have been a small local feature straightening irregularities in the riverbank.'

• LH024-041117 Building
  Description

  Six building plots were uncovered here in 2005 during archaeological testing (Excavation Licence No. 04E1605). A stone-lined hearth and a timber tanning pit were uncovered in one of the plots. Pottery of 14th-century date was noted in association with the plots. (Linnane 2008, 260) Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 21 June 2013

• LH024-041119 Stoup (present location)
  Description

  A rectangular stoup (dims 0.25m x 0.25m; H 0.24m) with a rounded basin (diam. 0.195m; D 0.164m), which had been kept at Newtown House and is probably from the nearby church (LH025-003001-) at Newtownstalban. The stoup was purchased in 1977, and donated to Millmount Museum in 2017 (Accession No. 2017:008). It is made from a grey limestone, and is octagonal in plan with pyramid stops on four of its facets.

• LH024-093 Religious house - Carmelite friars
  Description

  A Carmelite friary of the Blessed Mary of Mount Carmel was founded by the townspeople during the reign of King Edward I (1272-1307), and was enlarged after 1309. It is referred to as St Mary the Virgin in 1467-8, and at its suppression in 1540 it was described as already thrown down. Its property amounted to 9 acres, and consisted of an orchard and a garden near the Boyne and one ‘messuage in the dale’ (White 1943, 247). The friars returned briefly to Drogheda in the 1640s (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 288), but their old convent had been granted to Drogheda Corporation in 1557. A rectangular walled enclosure described as ‘Abbey Park’ is depicted here on the Newcommen map (1657). The area was referred to as fryars park or meadow in 1718 and it is represented as an orchard and a formal garden behind the houses on March Road on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map. (McHugh 2019) Archaeological testing (08E0031) by J. Kyle from April to September 2008 recorded (excavations.ie 2008:825) what is very likely to be part of the precinct which is preserved under the new development. A substantial E-W double-faced wall (Wth 1.8m; H L 40m plus) with a base-batter on the N side is probably the N wall of the church. Attached to the N side of the wall at the E end is a N-S wall with a mural passage, possibly leading to a stairs. The E end of this building was outside the excavation, but a substantial column intimates that it was a large structure which was vaulted over the ground floor. A stone-lined cess-pit within the structure is later but it produced wooden bowls and utensils as well as sherds of Saintonge, Bristol and local wares together with rich environmental samples. Other artefacts from the excavation include an iron key and a carved wooden stylus, reinforcing the interpretation of the structures as a church. Further W two walls with limestone facings may have marked the W side of the cloister, but much of this area had been filled in with introduced soils to raise the level because of flooding. South of the church wall 28 supine inhumations in three rows were aligned W-E with the heads at W. In the SW corner of the excavation garden soils produced a mixed collection of medieval pottery, roof and floor tiles and metal objects including a cannonball.
