• ME046-017 Field system
  Description

  The Augustinian priory of the Holy Trinity at Ballyboggan (ME046-018----) is within a field system consisting of rectangular fields (dims c. 100m x c. 50m) defined by low scarps or silted ditches (Wth c. 3-6m; D 0.3-1m). The field system covers an area of about 42 acres (c. 17 ha) and an old NE-SW stream bed meanders through it c. 150m NW of the priory. 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: 12 August 2019

• ME046-018 Religious house - Augustinian canons
  Description

  Located towards the bottom of a SW-facing slope with a W-E section of the River Boyne c. 150m to the S. A priory following the rule of St Augustine and dedicated to the Holy Trinity, sometimes known as ‘de laude Dei’ – of the praise of God - was founded by a Jordon Comin in the late 12th century (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 159-60). In 1399 it was claimed that John O’Mayller, an Irishman, was prior, contrary to the statutes of Kilkenny, but Richard Cuthbert was able to demonstrate that he was the prior. The priory was burnt in 1446 and the following year the prior died of the plague. The priory possessed a much-venerated crucifix that was publically burnt in 1538 (Cogan 1862-70, 1, 169-170). At its suppression in 1540 the priory was described as a church that had long been the parish church, a cemetery, cloister, a hall and other chambers that were ‘decayed’. There were also a garden and an orchard in the precinct. Ninety two acres and a water-mill were held in demesne where seven cottiers provided very specific services. A hundred acres at Ballyboggan were held by Sir William Bermingham. The priory owned 50 acres at Herenston (Harristown) and 200 acres of pasture or arable at Knockeangwoll and Kylnodogaghe (Knockersally or Colehill), Kyllosyllyng (Killaskillen), Balloskystye (Ballynakill?) and the unknown Cardystown. They also owned 160 acres of woodland in these townlands, which together amounted to Ballyboggan parish. They held the churches of Castlejordan, Killaderry, Co. Offaly, and Kilbride, Co. Westmeath (White 1943, 311-13). The estate was granted to Sir William Bermingham, later made Lord Carbrey (Lewis 1837, 1, 123). The church consists of a nave (ext. dims 34.5m NE-SW; 10.2m NW-SE) and chancel (ext. dims 17m NE-SW; c. 10.2m NW-SE) but the transepts (dim. 8m NE-SW) are almost completely removed (total L 63m NE-SW). The SW wall of the nave is removed but the long walls have three windows each and there was a pointed doorway (Wth 2m) towards the W end of the NW wall. There were three windows in the NW and SE walls of the chancel, and the scar of a triple sedilia is in the NW wall, but Wilde (1850, 44-5) says they were trefoil, so the dressed stone was present then. Part of SW wall of the SE transept survives with pointed lancet windows in dressed sandstone. A raised rectangular platform (dims c. 30m NW-SE; c. 30m NE-SW) bounded partly by the SE transept and the nave may be the site of the cloister. The subrectangular graveyard (max. dims c. 55m NE-SW; c. 50m NE-SW) is located on the slope NE of the church. It is defined by masonry walls and has headstones dating from c. 1780 to the present. The church and graveyard are surrounded by the field system (ME046017----). 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: 8 April, 2015

• ME046-018001 Graveyard
  Description

  Located towards the bottom of a SW-facing slope with a W-E section of the River Boyne c. 150m to the S. At its suppression in 1540 the Augustinian priory (ME046-018----) was described as a church that had long been the parish church, a cemetery, and other structures (White 1943, 311). The subrectangular graveyard (max. dims c. 55m NE-SW; c. 50m NE-SW) is located on the slope NE of the church. It is defined by masonry walls and has headstones dating from c. 1780 to the present. Ploughing in the surrounding field in January 1997 brought bones to the surface close to the priory and graveyard (SMR file) but a D-shaped area (dims 36m E-W; c. 30m N-S) N of the graveyard and bordered by a spread of yellow clay from an earthen bank was particularly rich in bones and the graveyard probably extended into this area at one time.
