Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Rectangular mound (L c. 12.8m, Wth c. 3m) recorded as being in existence in 1836 (OS Letters). Located in flat land immediately to the W of the River Dee. The site, known locally as 'Ferdia's Grave' (CLAJ 1922, 135), is now levelled, with no visible surface trace.

• LH017-009 Castle - tower house
  Description

  Situated outside the town walls of Ardee, and constructed of roughly coursed limestone blocks, boulders and greywacke. It is almost square in plan (c. 8.8m N-S, c. 8m E-W) with no projecting towers, is three storeys high and is now used as a farm building. The original doorway is at the S end of the E wall. Its arch is missing but the original jambs of hammer-dressed limestone remain in position. The doorway leads to the stairwell in the SE angle and a N-S barrel vault. The barrel vault was lit by an ope almost in the centre of the S wall, now blocked, and another, also blocked, at the N end of the W wall. There are seven cubby-holes in the wall at ground-floor level and a large round arched recess in the E. In the W wall both at first- and second-floor levels there is a rectangular window constructed of hammer-dressed and chamfered limestone. The E wall had a later building attached to it, the roof line of which can still be seen. There appear to be no opes in this wall except for a blocked one at second-floor level and a simple slit at the top of the stair tower. The S wall of this tower also has two small slit opes, while the main body of the wall has a blocked-up rectangular window at first-floor level. At first-floor level there is a garderobe situated in a short mural passage in the NW angle. The doorway to the garderobe has a flat arch and no dressed stone, while that leading from the stairwell has a lintel over its entranceway. The first-floor level had four single-light windows with single-splayed embrasures and rectangular opes of hammer-dressed limestone. All the windows, except for that in the W wall, are now blocked at this level. There is a large recess in the NE angle which was lit by a small slit ope and may originally have been a garderobe chamber. This level also has three cubby-holes. The second floor was carried on wooden beams set into the side walls. It was lit by four windows, one in each wall. They are rectangular in shape with hammer-dressed limestone frames and have seats in their embrasures. Some have been partially destroyed and blocked up. There is a blocked-up doorway in the NW angle which probably led to a garderobe. There are the remains of a fireplace in the E wall at second-floor level and its chimney stack can be seen rising above the battlements. The stairwell leads to the wall-walk on the S side, which is not now easily accessible, but the angle-tower can be seen rising above the level of the parapets. There is a pronounced oversailing at wall-walk level on both sides of the walls, which was carried on corbels and was built to accommodate the extra width for the wall-walk. The wall-walk was placed between two walls like a mural passage rather than the more normal arrangement which is to have only an outer protecting wall with crenellations. This arrangement survives only at the S side; elsewhere the inner wall has collapsed leaving only the corbels projecting.

• LH017-101006 College
  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 A three-storeyed rectangular building of limestone and greywacke rubble with some well-cut limestone quoins. It was originally larger with a further building at the N side of the standing remains. The ground floor has a barrel vault running E-W and a doorway in W end of the N wall. The doorway has hammer-dressed blocks of limestone for its jambs with a semi-circular arch of greywacke and limestone. There was an opening in the S wall (Wth c. 0.9m), now blocked, which has punch-dressed limestone jambs and is the remains of the original outer doorway, the one in the N wall being an internal opening which led to the now-missing portion of the building. A square-shaped murder hole, now blocked at first-floor level, can be observed over the original entrance. A blocked window can be seen immediately to the E of the N doorway but it is evident that the ope was made in the wall after the destruction of the N portion of the building. Access to the first-floor must have been gained from the ground-floor level in the now completely destroyed N part of the building, possibly at the NE angle of the present structure where there appears to be the central pillar for a spiral staircase. There is a fireplace in the W gable at first-floor level, probably a later insertion, and the remains of a stairwell in the NE angle which ascended to the second floor. The stairwell spirals anticlockwise to the second floor, giving access to the formerly existing N portion, and some of the corbels to carry it can be seen in the N wall. There is a single-splayed ope at first-floor level in the E wall of the NE angle, and a semi-circular recessed area which contains the garderobe with a chute (0.3m sq.), the exit of which is now blocked at ground-floor level. The recess has a max. depth of c. 0.6m and a height of c. 1.35m. In the N face of the N wall there are the remains of another fireplace which belonged to the now-destroyed N portion of the building. There is a third fireplace at second-floor level in the E gable, while a further one appears to be inserted at this level in the W wall which effectively blocked off a simple slit ope that can be observed from the outside. The second floor was wooden and was supported on beams set into wall recesses. There are broken-out openings in the E and S walls which were presumably originally window opes. The college was built in 1487 by Walter Verdon (Tempest 1952b, 145) as a residence for the chantry chaplains, but later alterations took place on the N side in the sixteenth century and in modern times when it was used for storage, probably for grain. (CLAJ 1939, 181-208)

• LH017-101007 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: 28 June 2012 Revised by: Claire Breen The medieval remains incorporated into the present St Mary's Church of Ireland building are probably those of a church founded as a parish church at the beginning of the thirteenth century. The present structure consists of a nave, chancel, S aisle and tower. Two religious houses are recorded in Ardee, the Hospital of St John the Baptist (Fratres Cruciferi) established in 1207 and the Carmelite friary from later in the thirteenth century (Bradley 1984a, 285). According to Bradley (1984a, 283-5), the present remains are not on the site of either foundation. Grose (1791, pl. 41) illustrates the building prior to its reconstruction in 1812, and although it is obviously inaccurate in some respects his drawing clearly shows a ruined tower at the W, a vaulted ground floor, and only the upper storeys of the E wall remaining, with windows at the belfry and ringing stages. The nave was gabled and roofed while the north aisle was unroofed, had a doorway with a round-headed arch and three large rectangular window opes. The only obvious medieval remains now are the arcade of four arches which divides the nave from the S aisle, a piscina incorporated in the pier near the altar, and a recess with stairway in the E gable which led to the loft over the rood screen. A portion of the medieval tower probably survives within the modern structure but this is not obvious. E of the present chancel is a very ruined building which may be the remains of the medieval chancel, or at least indicate its original plan. The doorway to the stairwell in the NE corner of the S aisle, which led to the rood loft, has a single rounded arch stone of punch-dressed limestone, indicating that the rood screen was late medieval in date. The jamb stones are rebated and the arch stones are treated in the same manner, presumably to allow a door to sit into the ope flush with the wall surface. A rectangular font of limestone (LH101-101010-) at the W end of the nave is decorated at one angle with a biting beast's head and at the other three with a foliate design. Between the decorated angles chisel marks cover the plain surfaces. It is probably late medieval in date. (CLAJ 1943, 200-3; Bradley 1984a, 280-3)

  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 Fragment of cross discovered in the grounds of St Mary's Church and erected on a concrete base and shaft. All that remains is part of a limestone disc head with one arm. The other arm, the top, the shaft and base are missing. A simple Crucifixion scene with canopy over is on the W face, the other side having a depiction of the Virgin and Child under an ogee-headed canopy. The cross, according to King (1983, 213), probably dates to the sixteenth century. (CLAJ 1943, 203, pl. I; King 1983, 210-14)

  Description

  A rectangular font of limestone (H 0.47m; Wth 0.6m; T 0.58m; internal diam 0.43m; internal D 0.2m). Originated in Mansfieldstown and is now located at the W end of the nave of St. Mary's church (LH017-101007-). Decorated at one angle with a biting beast's head and at the other three with a foliate design. Between the decorated angles chisel marks cover the plain surfaces. It is probably late medieval in date. (Bradley 1984, 284) See the attached image Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 28 June 2012

  Description

  Two gravemarkers in St. Mary's graveyard (LH017-101025-). One to William Hynes is possibly of seventeenth century date. It is a limestone slab (H 0.6m, Wth 0.38m, T 0.05m), gabled on top with an incised Celtic cross and a small Latin cross on top of the circle. To the E of the church (LH017-101007-) there is a gravemarker (LH017-101027-) of uncertain date set in the ground. It is a crude limestone slab (H 0.8m, Wth 0.4m) with an incised Latin cross.

• LH017-101015 Castle - tower house
  Description

  Known as 'Hatch's Castle', four storeys high and sub-rectangular in plan, it is constructed of uncoursed limestone rubble and greywacke. It is lived in and has been thoroughly modernised leaving little evidence of the original doors or windows. It has projecting towers at the SE and SW angles which are rounded, as are those at the NW and NE. Access to the castle is now through the modern doorway in the centre of the W wall but the original entrance was at the E end of the S wall. This gave access to the stairwell, which was in the SW angle-tower, and to the barrel-vaulted area of the ground floor. The doorway to the stairwell has a two-centred arch and is constructed of hammer-dressed limestone. The steps have been removed from the level between the ground floor and the first floor but are intact in the upper portions of the tower. There are garderobes at first- and second-floor levels in the NE angle-tower and the remains of one can be seen in the short mural passage at the second level. The second and third floors were wooden and were carried on corbels, but little remains of the original internal medieval features. At wall-walk level there is a projection in the centre of the N wall which rises above the parapet level and contains the chimney flues. The SW angle-tower, which rises above the level of the battlements, had a second storey to which access was gained by steps inserted into the N parapet wall. The wall and the top of the SW angle are crenellated but these are of recent origin.

• LH017-101018 Castle - tower house
  Description

  ('The Courthouse') Almost rectangular in plan with westward-projecting towers at the NW and SW angles, it is constructed of roughly coursed limestone blocks, boulders and greywacke. It is four storeys high, has been modernised and is still occupied. The area between the westward-projecting towers has been filled with a two-storey modern addition through which the present entrance passes. The original doorway, which is constructed of hammer-dressed and chamfered limestone and has a two-centred arch, is situated in the N wall close to the NW angle. There is a murder hole behind the doorway in the passage area which leads to a large N-S barrel vault and to the stairwell which is situated in the NW angle-tower. There are garderobes at first-, second- and third-floor levels in recesses in the SE angle-tower which projects very slightly eastwards. Most of the original windows have been replaced except for those at third-floor level and in the projecting towers. A large ogee-headed ope, now blocked up, can be seen in the S wall at second-floor level, a twin-light cusped ogee-headed window in the E wall of the ground floor, and some plain slits at various levels, now blocked. All of the remaining original windows that are still open are constructed of hammer-dressed limestone and have ogee heads. There is a machicolation at wall-walk level in the NW angle directly over the original doorway. The NW and SW angle-towers rise above the parapets and are crenellated, as are the tops of the main castle walls. The parapet walls are carried on a slight oversailing at wall-walk level and have drain holes. The wall-walk is constructed of large greywacke slabs.
