Recorded monuments
- ME046-007 Castle - tower house
Description
Situated on a slight E-W ridge. According to the Civil Survey (1654-56) Sir Luke FitzGerald owned 166 acres at Ardnemullan and Aghnegalliah in 1640, and on the premises was ‘one castle’ (Simington 1940, 188). The castle is depicted on the Down Survey (1656-8) map of Moyfenrath barony as two, two storey towers, one with a chimney, connected by a wing (http://downsurvey.tcd.ie/). The SW corner of a rectangular structure (H c. 4m) that was probably a tower house survived up to May 1985 when it was pulled down. 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 13 July 2016
- ME046-027 Charcoal-making site
Description
Situated in a gently undulating landscape. An area of sub-surface archaeological features was identified by Ian Russell in centre-line testing (02E0108) for the M4 Dublin to Galway motorway and set aside as Ardnamullan 1. Excavation (02E1147) revealed two rectangular (dims 1.6m x 0.9m; D 0.1m: 2.5m x 1.5m; D 0.25m) pits, interpreted as charcoal-making pits, and two subcircular (dims 0.7m x 0.4m; D 0.12m: 1m x 0.6m; D 0.2m) pits cut in the subsoil and truncated by furrows, which could have been bloom smithing hearths. All the pits contained charcoal flecks or oxidized clay, and a fragment of burnt bone and a single piece of waste flint were recovered from the smaller rectangular pit. The charcoal-making pits produced a C14 date of Cal. AD 1020-1250. (Linnane 2004)` Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 13 August 2019
