- LH024-041001 Religious house - Dominican friars
Description
A priory of the Dominican order founded c. 1224 by Luke Netterville, archbishop of Armagh. The only standing remains now to be seen are those of the central tower, built of coursed limestone blocks, greywacke and rough stone. It has two floor levels above the arch, the lower one having a twin-light window with transom and tracery in each of the four walls. The window arches are two-centred, are constructed of hard grey sandstone and are typical of the late medieval period. The windows of the upper floor level are also twin-lighted with transom and Y-shaped tracery but are taller than those of the lower stage. The stairwell is contained in the NW angle which projects northwards. In its N façade it has a doorway c. 6m above the present ground level. It has a two-centred arch of limestone with cut limestone jambs and several plain window slits for light. The lower floor level is roofed with a ribbed vault which springs from stylised human heads. The arch of the tower at both the nave and chancel sides is constructed of hard grey moulded sandstone in three orders which descend onto single jambs of chamfered limestone. The remains of jambs of a sandstone arch can be seen in the SW angle of the tower, presumably part of the original arcading at the S side of the nave. The line of the roofs of the nave and chancel is also clearly to be seen in the E and W façades of the tower. The treatment of the stonework in the windows and the doorway to the stairwell indicates a late medieval date, probably early fifteenth-century. In 1949 house foundations were dug just to the W of the tower and a small number of line-impressed tiles were found (CLAJ 1950, 182), and in 1951 further excavations in the same area revealed the foundations of a wall.

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 The parish church of Drogheda in Louth was established before 1186 and granted to the Augustinian canons of Llanthony Prima by Hugh de Lacy (Brooks 1953, 79). It apparently stood on or close to the present St Peter's (Church of Ireland) and as well as being a parish church was a college. All that survives of the medieval structure are a few pieces of cut stone, but according to Leask (1966, 117) it was a large church. According to Isaac Butler's Journal of 1744 (CLAJ 1922, 94) it had cross-aisles and three chancels, a large W aisle divided into three by two ranges of pillars, and ten great arches with a central steeple. It seems from this description to have had transepts, two side chapels and a tower at the crossing. There are nine pieces of cut stone set in concrete in the N side of the present church. Eight appear to be from the late medieval period and are decorated with a rosette type of ornament. There are three other fragments in the porch, including part of a cusped double-light window. In the church there is a decorated sandstone corbel in the W wall of the N side of the nave. Its decoration consists of foliage carved in low relief and it is almost certainly no later than the thirteenth century. Davies (CLAJ 1945, 23) mentions a drip moulding decorated with animals and vine leaves and illustrates the pieces (fig. 1) but they are now missing. (CLAJ 1945, 22-3; Bradley 1984b, 98-100)
- LH024-041011 Religious house - Augustinian friars
Description
A house of Augustinian friars was established at Drogheda in the reign of Edward I (1272-1307) according to Ware (1705, 90), and it was sometimes known as Pontanense because of its associated with the bridge (Archdall 1722, 314). An Irish chapter of the order was held there in 1359, and it was decided to introduce the Observant rule in 1517 (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 298). At the suppression in 1540 it was described as the church and certain superfluous buildings, an orchard and a garden amounting to one and a half acres (White 1943, 246-7). The ruins survive, although they have been mistakenly called the hospital of Mary d’Urso beginning with D’Alton (1844, vol. 1, 111-16), but this is now firmly identified as the house of the Augustinian friars (McHugh 2019). The standing remains consist of part of the nave, chancel, the W gable of the N aisle, and the central bell-tower. It is built of roughly coursed limestone blocks, greywacke and rubble. There is virtually nothing left of the nave except for portions of the S wall which have been disturbed and in places rebuilt with brick. To the N of where the W end of the nave should be there are the remains of a gable wall containing a window, now filled in, which is presumably the W end of a destroyed N aisle. It is a two-centred arch of moulded sandstone and its W façade has the remains of carved heads at the base of the arch, that at the N side being almost completely eroded. The N jamb is missing while that at the S side is of moulded sandstone. The E façade has a simple two-centred moulded arch of sandstone. Part of a later wall abuts the S side of the nave at right angles. It contains a now blocked opening with segmental arch of hammer-dressed blocks of limestone which must be of late medieval date. The vaulting of the cross-tower is stepped upwards in three stages and there are two floor levels above the arch. The upper one has a twin-light transomed window at each side, while the lower stage has a small plain rectangular opening immediately below the apex of the original roof lines of the nave and chancel, but this is hardly big enough to give access to the lofts of these structures. The windows of the upper level have cusped ogee-headed arches of limestone. There is a plain rectangular-shaped doorway in the SE angle of the tower just below the line of the roof of the chancel which must have given access to a gallery. The arches of the tower are two-centred and are constructed with chamfered grey sandstone. There is a doorway in the S face of the tower at first-floor level. It has a segmental arch constructed with rough blocks of greywacke and limestone. It presumably gave access from the first-floor level of the domestic range to the tower, which in turn led to the chancel gallery - a similar arrangement to that at Carlingford Priory (LH005-042013-). The E window of the chancel has a large two-centred arch, but since all the tracery has been robbed it is not possible to say what type of dressed stone was used or what number of lights there were. The S wall of the chancel has one half of a small arch, now blocked, about 6m E of the central tower. It has a central keystone and limestone blocks. Just to the E and at a slightly higher level there is a moulded sandstone window jamb. In the S façade of the S wall of the chancel just to the E of the tower are the remains of a doorway at ground level, now blocked. All the arch and jamb stones, which are limestone blocks, are still in position. It has a two-centred pointed arch with keystone and is quite plain. It gave access in late medieval times to the chancel from the cloister. About 26m S of the nave there is a short E-W stretch of medieval walling (L c. 7m) which has the remains of a splay at its W extremity. On the same E-W line as this wall and c. 13m to the E there is a further small fragment which contains punch-dressed quoin stones and may be a jamb from a late medieval doorway.

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 in St Peter's church (Church of Ireland) and consisting of a massive bowl, well decorated and seated on a modern plinth and base. The bowl is octagonal, formed as two registers with decorated panels, and lined with lead. The panels, which are described and illustrated by Roe (1976, 257-62), are framed by twisted 'vine-stem' mouldings. The font is said to have been broken deliberately by Cromwell in 1649. It was repaired in 1921 and a plaque commemorating this restoration work replaced a broken portion of one of the panels. The upper register of panels have round-headed niches separated by plain pillars and filled with figures. The panels of the lower register, some of which are very badly damaged, all have single niches within which are angels holding scrolls. This font probably dates from the early sixteenth century. Roe (1976, 261-2) points out that there is a decorated stone fragment, which is similar in style to the font and is possibly part of the stem, situated in the church porch. (JRSAI 1921, 77-8; Roe 1976, 255-62)
- LH024-041014 Town defences
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: 16 July 2010 These enclosed an area of c. 45 hectares and had a circumference of 2.35km. We are fortunate that a sixteenth-century plan of Drogheda survives (Bradley 1978, 100) on which the main medieval features are represented, though this must be treated with some caution. The town is divided E-W by the River Boyne which also acted at one time as the county boundary between Louth and Meath. There appear to have been ten gateways, six in the N sector and four in the S. The remains of only two survive, St Laurence's Gate (LH024-041005-) and the Butter Gate (LH024-041007-). Besides the gateways there were also a number of towers along the walls and the N bank of the river (Bradley 1978, map opp. p. 98). Six or seven of the mural towers were S of the river while in the N sector there appear to have been between seven and ten. No remains of these can be seen on the ground and the only surviving portions of the wall are a large stretch at the W side of the town, a short fragment close to St Laurence's Gate, and a long section to the S of St Mary's Church. A subsidy was conceded in 1279 for a stone enclosure and one in 1316 for the repair of the wall and towers (D'Alton 1844, vol. I, 87), so we can safely assume that the town walls and towers were built by the end of the thirteenth century. The section situated to the S of St Mary's Church (LH024-041010-), is the longest stretch (c. 92m) and the best-preserved portion of the medieval wall of Drogheda. It is built of roughly coursed limestone blocks and has been constructed in two distinct phases. There are the remains of a wall-walk with single-splayed opes in the parapet wall. There is a further line of opes c. 0.5m below the level of the others, but they are partially blocked by a later raising of the level of the wall-walk. The E portion of the wall is arcaded and buttressed. The buttresses are obviously a late or second phase addition to the wall. The parapet wall is 0.7m thick and the wall-walk 0.9m wide, giving a total thickness of 1.6m. There is a blocked doorway near the W end of the wall but this is undoubtedly of fairly recent origin. Situated c. 9.5m to the SW of St Laurence's Gate (LH024-041005-), are the only other substantial remains, being c. 12.5m long. Two large sections of arcading each span an area of 3.5m. This arcading is on the inner face of the wall and is c. 0.75m deep. The total Wth of the wall is just less than 2m. A number of excavations were undertaken along the line of the town wall by ACS Ltd. in 1996 (Excavation Licence 96E0160). Excavations at Peace Bridge revealed a section of the town wall of c. 13th century construction. Two phases of construction were visible both with arrow slits and wall walks. The wall was nearly 2m wide at its base with a batter on the outside and a buttress on the inside against the foundations. It would originally have stood to a height of c. 6.42m. Excavations at Murdock's Car Park revealed two substantial portions of the town wall. They each measured over 1m in Wth but only one or two courses of the wall remained as the rest had been destroyed by later activity. This represents the first archaeological evidence to date for the existence of a medieval river wall. Excavations at the east end of Wellington Quay revealed a short section of the town wall. This section was aligned east to west, was approximately 1.6m thick and had a batter on its western side. Excavations at John Street revealed some of the the foundations of the town wall which had been excavated into natural boulder clay and evidence for a possible ditch was found just outside the line of the town wall here. The following describes the various components of the town wall in a clockwise direction beginning with West Gate. A working map has been placed in the SMR file which shows the locations of the various numbered components (1-24 are N of the Boyne and 25-34 are S). (1) Referred to as West Gate. According to Bradley (1984b) it may have been a twin bastioned structure. Also shown on Taylor and Skinner's map of 1778 but was demolished by 1808 (D'Alton 1844, I, 90). (Bradley 1984b, 89-90) (2) Referred to as Fair Gate. Appears to have been a rectangular gatehouse. No trace survives at ground level. (Bradley 1984b, 90) (3) Depicted on early maps as a tower or gate. No trace survives at ground level. (Bradley 1984b, 90) (4) A mural tower depicted on early maps. No trace survives at ground level. (Bradley 1984b, 90, Tower 8) (5) A mural tower depicted on early maps. No trace survives at ground level. (Bradley 1984b, 90, Tower 9) (6) A mural tower depicted on early maps. No trace survives at ground level. (Bradley 1984b, 90, Tower 10) (7) Referred to as St. Sunday's Gate. The name is derived from 'St. Sunday's Friary', an alternative name for the Dominican friary. Research by Bradley (1984b) indicates that it was a rectangular structure with a barbican linked to the tower by two side walls. In 13th and 14th century documents it is referred to as the North Gate and Cow Gate. No trace survives at ground level. (Bradley 1984b, 90) (8) Referred to as Tooting Tower on 17th century map. No trace survives at ground level. (Bradley 1984b, 90) (9) Referred to as Taylor's Hall Tower. May have had gate attached. Portion of this tower was still standing at the rear of No. 13 King Street in 1941. (Bradley 1984b, 90) (10) Referred to as Pigeon Tower. A 17th century depiction shows an arch. No trace survives at ground level. (Bradley 1984b, 91) (11) Usually called St Laurence's, it consists of a barbican with an arched entrance-way and a rounded tower at the N and S sides. The towers are four storeys high including the battlement levels but excluding an additional floor for a loft above the third storey. The opposing or inward-facing sides above the level of the central arch have flattened façades, that of the S tower being more pronounced so that it has a sharp angle at the NW. The towers are joined at first- and top-floor level by arches with crenellations above, partly supported on slight oversailings carried on small stone corbels. The second-floor level between the towers must have been built of wood and was carried on beams set on corbels and into the walls. The gate-tower is situated to the E of or outside the line of the town wall, a fragment of which still stands to its SW. There are two garderobe exits in the W face of the S tower and one in the N tower which presumably discharged into a fosse to the W of the gateway. The gate-tower is constructed of quite well coursed limestone and greywacke rubble, while some of the details such as the portcullis groove and the outer arch contain a hard grey sandstone. Almost at the centre of the E façade, at first-floor level, in the wall that joins the bastions there is a window with a rounded arch and surrounds of moulded Dundry stone. The street level at present is higher than the ground floor of the tower. At the E side, where the street level drops slightly, there is evidence of a slight base batter on the towers. At the E end of the entranceway are the remains of a portcullis groove constructed of grey sandstone, now eroded and stained from pollution. The arch of the entranceway of the E side, which is almost semi-circular, is constructed of badly-eroded sandstone blocks. The arch at the W side is flatter than that on the E side, being segmental and constructed of limestone blocks. There appear to be two distinct periods of building involved, plus some relatively modem alterations to the entranceway and W façade. The earlier phase, which probably dates to the end of the thirteenth century, incl
- LH024-041015 Tomb - effigial
Description
Within the grounds of the present St Peter's (Church of Ireland) church, which dates to 1753 (Garner 1986, 10), and on the site of the medieval parish church (LH024-041004-) are the remains of several late medieval tomb fragments. (See also LH024-041093- to LH024-041101-). The most spectacular of these are the remains of a large tomb chest and mensa. The four side slabs of the tomb bear coats of arms and an incised Latin inscription in Roman lettering. These arms have been identified as those of Sir Edmond Goldyng impaling those of his three wives, Elizabeth Flemyng, Blanche Cruce and Johanne Fynglasse. The fourth coat of arms represents Edmond's son Walter impaling those of his wife, Elizabeth Darcee. The mensa (L 2.6m, Wth 1.5m) has two effigies extending the complete length of the slab. These effigies or 'cadavers' are shown as partially decomposed bodies with the principal bones revealed. The figure on the left represents the male, that on the right the female.The effigies are enclosed in knotted shrouds which billow out to reveal the body. Along the two margins and across the bottom of the slab is an inscription in English and incised blackletter. An additional inscription of poor quality extends down the centre of the slab but this may be secondary. Roe (1969, 15) suggests that the tomb dates to the first quarter of the sixteenth century and places it early in her sequence of cadaver effigial monuments in Ireland, all of which are late medieval to early post-medieval in date.

- LH024-041062 House - 16th century
Description
Commonly known as 'Bathe House' since it was erected by Nicholas Bathe in 1570. It occupied the angle formed by the junction of Shop Street and Laurence Street. It was three storeys high and built of wood. In 1824 it was condemned by Drogheda Corporation and demolished. . . The house was built mainly of oak and was three storeys high, with the upper storey projecting beyond the one immediately underneath. The upper storey had a strong, square oak framing with spandril pieces each forming a quadrant; the interstices were filled with plaster. The second storey, which contained the drawing room, was finished with panelling, each panel being about one foot square and decorated with carving. In the angle of the drawing room, which looked out onto Shop Street and Laurence Street, there was a semi-circular bay window with four divisions. It contained in a panel of its pedestal the arms of Bathe. On the bressimer (a load-bearing beam that extends the length of the building) facing Laurence St. was an inscription, stating the building to have been "MADE *BI *NICHOLAS *BATHE *IN *THE *IEARE *OF *OUR *LORD *GOD *1570 *BI *HIV *MOR *CARPENTER". This oak beam is now preserved in the National Museum of Ireland.

- LH024-041063 House - medieval
Description
Situated on the S side of Narrow West Street, at the crest of the S-facing slope down to the River Boyne. The house at 43/44 West Street, has a projecting chimney breast on the E gable, but a commemorative plaque of Nicholas Elcock with the date 1583 on the E wall was thought to have been moved from another house (Tempest 1943). Internal works during 2017 removed internal walls at the ground floor level, and revealed the internal stairs to be a 19th century feature. The roof is also of this date, probably resulting from a refurbishment of c. 1830. The masonry of the basement and ground floor appear to be late medieval in date. The E wall at the first floor and much of the second is also original, and the Elcock plaque might be in its original position. The N wall at the basement level has a base-batter, suggesting it was probably the original ground floor of a three storey building, the roof-line of which is evident inside the E gable. About 1650 new structural timbers were introduced, and a decorative fireplace added to the E gable at the first floor. Later in the seventeenth century, c. 1675, the front (N) and S walls above the basement were rebuilt.

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 at the main door of St. Peter's Church, West St., but thought to have come from Killineer, County Louth (Bassett 1886, 89), and consisting of an octagonal bowl mounted on a modern pedestal and plinth. It is so small that it might be considered as a stoup except for the fact that it had a central drain hole. The bowl has eight equal sides, is slightly chamfered around the rim, and has decorated panels. These have been fully described and illlustrated by Roe (1976, 255-62) but consist basically of eight angels standing beneath ornate canopies and holding shields with various devices carved in very low relief. The font is late medieval in date, and probably belongs to the sixteenth century (Roe 1976, 255-62).

Description
In the porch of St. Peter's church is a cross-slab originally from Marlay graveyard (see LH018-041001- for original location record). The slab is roughly circular (max. L 0.82m; max. Wth 0.82m) with very irregular edges. It bears two crudely incised Latin crosses placed side by side. One is a linear cross with slightly curving bifid terminals. The other is a more elaborate version, with a linear circle joining the shaft and arms and a single incised line partly outlining the cross. The outer line is slightly convex rather than forked at three of the terminals and is missing above the upper terminal. An Irish inscription above and below the crosses reads 'Tnudach Cocmanf'. The crosses and inscription are enclosed by a roughly circular linear frame which is now partly defaced (Lionard 1961, 102, fig. l: 10; Macalister 1949, 31).

- LH024-041120 Religious house - Fratres Cruciferi
Description
The Abbey and Hospital of St Mary d'Urso, founded by Ursus de Swemele c. 1206-14 for Crutched friars to aid the sick of the town, is outside the medieval West gate of Drogheda (CLAJ 1959, 154-9). In 1377 three of the friars and a chaplain were tried for assault and acquitted (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 211). At the Supression in 1540 it was described as a dovecote with two orchards amounting to one and a half acres, but it owned a considerable amount of property within Drogheda and land at Glasspistol (60 acres) and Carlingford (30 acres) and other places throughout the county (White 1943, 242-4). In 1557 the priory was granted to Drogheda Corporation. The site of the hospital was thought to be the ruins (LH024-041011-) off Patrickswell Lane but recent research (McHugh 2019) demonstrates conclusively that the ruins are those of the church of the Augustinian friars. St Mary d’Urso is always described as being outside the walls, and the ruins are depicted on the Newcomen map of 1657 just outside the West Gate.
