- ME043-013: Burial mound, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CME043-013----. Located just off the summit of a small hillock. It is not depicted on any map but was described in 1969 (SMR file) as a subcircular platform (dims of base 20m NW-SE; 11m NE-SW) defined by a scarp (at SW: Wth 1.4m; H 0.55m). It is known locally and was thought to be a burial ground from 1798. Its visible profile seems to have been removed by 1995 (OSAP). 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: 21 August 2019
- ME043-014: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CME043-014----. Located on a NE-facing slope of Arodstown Hill. It was described in 1969 (SMR file) as a subcircular grass-covered area (dims 44m E-W; 36.5m N-S) that sloped down to the N (H 1.5m). It was defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base 5.5-6m; int. H 0.1m at N to 0.6m at S; ext. H 1.1m at S to 1.5m at N) with some bushes separated by a rounded fosse (Wth of top 5-5.5m; ext. D 0.3m at N to 0.7m at S) from an outer bank at N (Wth of base 3.5m; ext. H 0.5m) and ESE-SSE (Wth of base 4.3m; int. H 075m; ext. H 0.5m). The original entrance was not recognised but it may have been between NNE and ESE where the inner bank was damaged. The visible profile of the monument had been removed by 1995 (OSAP). 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: 21 August 2019
- ME043-015: Church, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CME043-015----. Situated on a prominent rise in an undulating landscape. The earliest reference is from Ussher (1622), who describes the church and chancel at Arratstowne as ruinous (Erlington 1847-64, 1, lxxx). Dopping (1682-5) lists Arodstown as a chapel-of-ease to Kilmore (ME043-042----) (Ellison 1972, 4). Cogan (1862-70, 2, 371) records the church as measuring ’41 feet by 15 (c. 12.5m x c. 4.6m)’, and Moore (1975, 45) says it was dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Only two lengths of the overgrown S wall (total L 12.55m; max. H 1.5-2m; T 0.8m) survive with a gap (Wth 1.8m) towards the W end that might be the location of a doorway. It is within a subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 37m E-W; c. 30m N-S) retained by masonry walls, and its few headstones dating from 1740 to 1953 have been recorded (ibid. 45-9). The head of a latin cross (H 0.58m; span 0.66m; T 0.14m) with slightly flaring terminals had been buried just outside the S doorway, but it was moved from the graveyard c. 1960 and is now outside the Roman Catholic church of St Mary’s at Moynalvy (ME043-028----), c. 1.6km to the S (ibid. 46-7). It has a Madonna in relief on one face with ‘IHS’ and MAR’ carved in false relief on panels at the ends of the arms and a Crucifixion on the other face, with ‘INRI’ in false relief above and the letters ‘P’ and ‘M’ incised at either end of the arms. It probably dates to the late 16th century (King 1984 104-05) 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: 23 March, 2015

Situated on a prominent rise in an undulating landscape. The church (ME043-015----) is within a subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 37m E-W; c. 30m N-S) retained by masonry walls, and its few headstones dating from 1740 to 1953 have been recorded (Moore 1975, 45-9). The head of a latin cross (ME043-015002-) from the graveyard is now outside the Roman Catholic church of St Mary’s at Moynalvy (ME043-028----), c. 1.6km to the S (ibid. 46-7).

- ME043-016: Castle - unclassified, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CME043-016----. Situated on a slight SW-facing slope with Arodstown church (ME043-015----) c. 150m to the W. According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) Peter Barnwall of Arrottstown in Kilmore parish owned 305 acres there in 1640, and on the premises were ‘a castle and some cottages’ (Simington 1940, 149). This was a rectangular structure (ext. dims 10.6m plus NW-SE; 8.7m NE-SW) with a projecting square tower (ext. dims c. 3.5m NE-SW; 2.75m NW-SE) at the S angle. There was a modern doorway in the SE wall and two double-splay lights on the NE wall at the ground floor. The ceiling was supported on corbels in the long walls. A lintelled doorway (Wth 0.7m) leads from the main chamber to the S tower (int. dims 2.6m NW-SE; 2m NE-SW) that had a low barrel-vault with a single double-splay light in the SE wall. The first floor under the NW-SE barrel-vault may have been a loft as it has no features except a round-headed doorway leading to the S tower, which also has a barrel-vault. The S tower has a double-splay light in the SE wall and a large opening in the NE wall that could have provided the main entrance to the structure. There was no trace of any upper floors and it appears to have been removed since 1969 (Bing c. 2013).

Situated on a gentle N-facing slope. Topsoil stripping (02E0194) in advance of a gas pipeline identified a large area (dims 46m E-W; 10.5m N-S; D 0.3m) of heat-shattered stone (BGE: 1A/25/1) which was completely excavated (02E0687). It resolved itself into two fulachta fia, the single troughs of which were 25m apart E-W. The W spread (dims 12.5m E-W; 7m N-S; max. T 0.1m) had a circular pit (diam. 1.1-1.15m; D 0.55m) with compact clay lining the base overlaid by charcoal-rich silty clay that had burnt stone inclusions. An ENE-WSW field ditch cut across the mound and the upper levels of the trough and had a single fill of silty clay with charcoal and burnt stone inclusions. The trough produced a C14 date of 2290-2020 cal. BC, while a sample from the drain provided a date of 2190-1950 cal. BC.

Situated on a gentle S-facing slope. Topsoil stripping (02E0194) in advance of a gas pipeline identified as disturbed patches of heat-shattered stone (1A/25/2) which was completely excavated (02E0688). The patches of burnt stone material overlay a subcircular trough (dims 1.5m x 1.2m; D 0.4m) with three fills. There were two pits nearby and a thin spread of burnt stone (dims 5m E-W; 4m N-S) 0.8m distant at the closest point downslope to the S. A sample from the trough produced a C14 date of 2280-2030 cal. BC. (Byrne 2002, 2004, 2007) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 8 March, 2018
