  Description

  Situated at the crest of a steep NW-facing slope (H c. 15-20m) down to the flood-plain of a SE-NE section of the River Boyne which is c. 100m distant. A low mound (dims c. 16.5m x c. 11.5m; max. H 1.5m) may be the remains of the mound of a passage tomb. In 1973 two stones with pocked incisions akin to passage tomb art were recovered in construction work. Stone 1 (dims c. 1m x c. 1m; T c. 0.25m) has a serpent, two heart-shaped flourishes and a cup-in-circle on one large face, although the other is blank. However, there are cup-marks and lines on the narrow sides. Stone 2 is triangular (dims c. 1.12m x 0.5m; T 0.25m) and has one or possibly two snakes and one certain and another possible cup-mark on one face, some pecked lines on the other large face and there are some pocked lines on the long side. The present location of the decorated stones is not known.

• ME025-019 Castle - motte
  Description

  Located at the tip of a S-N spur (H c. 20m W-NE) with a S-N section of the River Boyne c. 50m to the W and c. 25m lower, while the valley of a SE-NW stream is c. 50m to the E and at least 10m lower. Ardmulchan was retained by Hugh de Lacy in the initial sub-infeudation of Meath but sometime before 1199 it had been granted to Theobold Walter de Botellier, whose principal grants were in Thomond. In a charter witnessed by three bishops and Meiler FitzHenry, the Justiciar (1199-1203), Theobold granted the church and chapels of Archmulchan to the Augustinians of St Thomas the Martyr (DU018-020051-). The temporalities were secured by Bishop de la Corner for the nunnery of Lismullin (ME032-024----) c. 1240 and they still had rights there by the Dissolution (White 1940, 256). By 1212 when all the de Lacy property was in the King’s hands and administered by William le Petit, Ardmulchan yielded over 23 pounds in rent making it one of the most profitable settlements in Meath. The manor passed from the de Lacy to the de Genneville family through marriage in 1244, but it continued to prosper and in 1297 when the sheriff tried to execute a warrant against Geoffrey de Genneville at Ardmulchan he was intimidated by the inhabitants and found himself deprived of his own cattle. (Hickey 1994, 167-9) The motte is a flat-topped and grass-covered earthen mound (dims of top 36m N-S; 27m E-W), the top of which slopes down (H c. 2m) to the N and has some trees. At the bottom of the mound (diam. of base 58m N-S; H 4.7m at S to 6.2m at N) is a berm (at S: Wth 5m; at N: Wth 2m) or fosse that is bordered by an earthen bank (at N: Wth 6m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.6m; at S: Wth c. 15m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.2m) which may date from the nineteenth century as the monument (max. ext. diam. c. 90m N-S) is represented as covered with trees on the 1836 edition of the OS 6-inch map. The parish church of Ardmulchan (ME025-020001-) is c. 50m to the S. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987).

• ME025-020 Church
  Description

  The parish church of Ardmulchan is located at the top of the steep W facing slope down to the SW-NE River Boyne where the stream is about 100m to the W and turning N. Reference date from at least 1232, and the names of many of the clergy are known (Cogan 1862 70, 1, 340-1). A church at Ardmulhan is listed in the ecclesiastical taxation (1302-06) of Pope Nicholas IV (Cal. doc. Ire. 5, 252). In Ussher’s Visitation (1622) at Armalgham the church and chancel were ruined but the rector was repairing the chancel (Erlington 1847-64, 1, lxi). According to Dopping’s Visitation (1682-5) the church was dedicated to the Blessed Virgin, the walls of the nave and chancel were still standing, but the graveyard was not enclosed (Ellison 1971, 33 4). At this time the parish was already united with Painestown. The church is within a subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 48-58m E-W; c. 35m N-S at E to c. 57m N-S at W) defined by masonry walls. The church is a divided nave (int. dims 13.75m E-W; 5.7m N-S) and chancel (int. dims 8.8m E-W; 5.6m N-S) structure (ext. dims 25.6m E-W; c. 8m N-S) with only parts of the foundations of the nave and sections of the ivy covered and featureless N an S walls of the chancel (H c. 2m) surviving. The junction of the nave and chancel survives at N, with a fragment of the chancel arch wall and steps from a newel stairs in the pier, indicating a rood-loft. A bell tower (ext. dims 5.35m N-S; 3.45m E-W) of three storeys, is vaulted over the ground floor and has a base-batter. It is attached to the W end of the church and the ground floor chamber (int. dims 2.34m N-S; 2.14m E-W) has three holes in the vault for bell-pulls. A destroyed doorway leads from the nave to a mural stairs in the S and W walls which rise to the first floor of the tower. Only the W wall of the belfry stage with a large broken-out opening survives. A broken graveslab (dims 1.89m x 0.83m; T 0.13-0.18m) in the chancel is now completely plain but had an incised gothic inscription in English referring to Porter of Kingstown (FitzGerald 1910, 134). Beside it another slab (dims 1.83m x 0.82m; T 0.13m) has some decoration in relief and the fragmentary Latin inscription in relief referred to Walter Porter, who died in 1623 (ibid. 135). In the graveyard is a sandstone cross slab (H 0.62 0.66m; Wth 0.38 48m; T 0.1m) with a raised ringed cross (int. diam. 0.25m; ext. diam. 36m), which may be the slab noted by Wilde (1850, 142) as re-used on a doorway in the tower. Also in the graveyard is the probable 17th century graveslab (dims 1.95m x 1.04m) of Brian O’Hairt inscribed in Latin with Roman letters. A date is not given, but the sundial provided (ibid. 137) is perhaps unique. A cresset stone from this graveyard is now in the National Museum of Ireland (Moore 1984, 114). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. See the attached general view of the tower from SE.

• ME025-020003 Graveslab
  Description

  A broken graveslab (dims 1.89m x 0.83m; T 0.13—0.18m) in the chancel of Ardmulchan church (ME025-020----) is now completely plain but had an incised gothic inscription in English referring to Porter of Kingstown. It is described (FitzGerald 1910, 134) as: One (slab) is quite plain, except for a line and a half of an inscription at its upper end. Unfortunately the left top corner of the lab is broken off, and with it a part of the inscription, which is barely visible to the naked eye. The lettering is in sunk black letter, and (what is very unusual with that class of lettering) in English; it reads (in gothic lettering): [This st]one pertainethe to porter [ of] kingestoune. The inscription was not continued further, though it is plain that it is unfinished. Kingstown is the name of a townland close by. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 11 September, 2014

• ME025-020004 Graveslab
  Description

  Another graveslab (dims 1.83m x 0.82m; T 0.13m) in the chancel of Ardmulchan church (ME025-020----) has some decoration in relief and the fragmentary Latin inscription in relief referred to Walter Porter, who died in 1623 (FitzGerald 1910, 135), but it it no longer legible. It is described (ibid.) as: The slab (6 feet long and 2 feet 8 inches broad (dims c. 1.83m x c. 0.81m) is of a very uncommon design, as along its length, in the upper portion, are four carvings in high relief, in the following order, commencing from the left, viz: I A shield, bearing two coats-of-arms, impaled. In the dexter half: ‘gules, three bells, two and one, argent.’ for Porter. In the sinister half: ‘gules, a fesse between five martlets (or swallows), three and two, argent,’ for Dowdall. Heavy diapering, or mantling, falls on either side of the shield, and on a fragment of scroll (incomplete) appear the letters FRO and LVS. II A large ornamental S, which is the initial letter of the inscription. III A full-faced sun, with short, wavy rays. IV A large stag’s head on a ‘wreath’, to the mouth of which is attached a scroll, inscribed: INSIGNIA PORTERANA (several letters conjoined) i.e. ‘The Porter Crest’. A big fragment is broken off the left top corner of the slab, carrying with it much of the left side of the coat-of-arms. An inscription in small raised capitals, many of which are conjoined, occupies the lower portion of the slab: but it is quite worn away in a large portion of the commencement of the lines, which are seven in number, the last line containing the date 4 Junii 4. Except for the figure 4, the year is quite illegible, though it belongs to the seventeenth century. This slab closely resembles in design the Marward slab at Skreen in this county. From the fragments remaining of the inscription it is clear that this monument belongs to Walter Porter and Ellenor Dowdall, his wife, whose arms appear on the shield. They are the persons referred to in the following Funeral Entry (see Journal, ‘Funeral Entries, No. 292, vol. 7, P 111). ‘Walter Porter of Kingstown in the County of Meath died July the 8 1623. His first wife was Jane Cusack, and had issue James: and secondly married Ellenor daughter of [Dowdall] of Staffordstown, by whom he had issue William and Nicholas, John, George, Marier, Elizabeth Katherin and Joan.’ Walter Porter was the son of Simon Porter, who died on the 31st January, 1585. His wife Ellenor was the daughter of Mathew Dowdall (ob. 29th January, 1584), of Staffordstown. The Porter property consisted of lands in ‘Kingstone, Carnolse, Harristone, Angestone Barrett, Porterstone, Damalstone, Ballasare, and Morestone Curragh.

• ME025-020005 Graveslab
  Description

  Also in the graveyard of Ardmulchan church (ME025-020----) is the probable 17th century graveslab (dims 1.95m x 1.04m) of Brian O’Hairt inscribed in Latin with Roman letters. A date is not given, but the sun-dial provided (FitzGerald 1910, 137) is perhaps unique. It is described (ibid.) as: The inscription round the edge, in large, deeply cut Roman capitals, is very clear; but that portion of it on the face of the slab was exceedingly hard to decipher, and of the Latin part only a few letters can be traced. The sun-dial like arrangement of Arabic figures is, as far as I know, unique, on a sepulchral slab, and what meaning it was intended to convey is unknown to me. There is no date given of this Brian O’Hart’s death. The inscription on the edge of the slab reads: EGO BERNARDVS O HAIRT / OFFICIALIS CVRIE MIDESIS CREDO QVOD MORTALE / HOC INDVERIT IMORTALI / TATE ET IN CARNE MEA SALVATORE MEV VIDERO. At the centre is: A MAN IS MADE LIKE / VANITEE HIS DAIES PAS / SETH AS A SHADOWE. In a semi-circle around a hole for a gnomon: Here lieth Brian O Hairt. Also the numerals 5-12 and 1-3. The translation of the inscription is: I Brian O’Hairt, Official (i.e. Registrar) of the Consistory Court of Meath, believe that ‘this mortal shall put on immortality’ (from 1st Corinthians XV, 52), and ‘in my flesh I shall see my Saviour’ (or God, in Job, XIX, 26).
