Recorded monuments

• ME032-009 Church
  Description

  Situated on a bluff overlooking the valley of the W-E Nanny River, with a WNW-ESE section of the stream c. 50m to the NE. A church at Balimgarvey is listed in the ecclesiastical taxation (1302-06) of Pope Nicholas IV (Cal. doc. Ire., 5, 252). Ussher (1622) describes the church and chancel of Balmagarvey as in good repair (Erlington 1847-64, 1, lxv). According to Dopping (1682-5) the church was unrepaired since 1641 (Ellison 1971, 34). The parish church of Ballymagarvey is within a subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 45m E-W; c. 22m N-S at E to c. 30m N-S at W) defined by masonry walls and has headstones dating from c. 1757 to 1976. This is a divided nave (ext. dims 13.3m E-W; c. 7m N-S) and chancel (ext. dims 8.2m E-W; 6.3m N-S) structure but only the overgrown W gable with its belfry and the overgrown chancel survive (total L 21.5m). The pointed chancel arch (Wth 2m) is original and the pointed E window (Wth 1.35m) has two cusped ogee-headed lights with a quatrefoil over them but it is presently obscured by ivy growth. A large fragment of a rectangular sandstone font (dims 0.6m x 0.6m; max. H 0.5m) with chamfered angles and a circular basin (diam. 0.49m; D 0.27m) is outside the E gable. The side-panels are D-shaped as the stone morphs into a circular form at the bottom (Roe 1968, 109-10). The Balrath wayside cross (ME032-010----) was moved from its original position c. 270m to the ENE beside the old Kentstown to Duleek road and is now displayed at the SE angle of the graveyard. It is a small Celtic cross (H 1.75m; span 0.55m) without a ring which has a crucifixion on the W face and a Pietá on the E, executed in false relief (King 1984, 105). 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.

• ME032-009001 Graveyard
  Description

  Situated on a bluff overlooking the valley of the W-E Nanny River, with a WNW-ESE section of the stream c. 50m to the NE. The parish church of Ballymagarvey (ME032-009----) is within a rectangular graveyard (dims c. 45m E-W; c. 22m N-S at E to c. 30m N-S at W) defined by masonry walls and has headstones dating from c. 1757 to 1976. The font (ME032-009002-) is just E of the church, and the Balrath wayside cross (ME032-010----) was moved from its original position c. 270m to the ENE beside the old Kentstown to Duleek road and is now displayed at the SE angle of the graveyard (ME032-009003-). Archaeological monitoring (16E0582) by N. Colfer of an E-W drain c. 25m to the S at the closest point produced no related material, although a short wall footing thought to be post-medieval was encountered c. 50m SW of the graveyard (excavations.ie 2016:640).

• ME032-009002 Font
  Description

  In the graveyard (ME032-009001-), just outside the E gable of the parish church (MW032-009----). This is a large fragment of a rectangular sandstone font (dims 0.6m x 0.6m; max. H 0.5m) with chamfered angles and a circular basin (diam. 0.49m; D 0.27m). The side-panels are D-shaped as the stone morphs into a circular form at the bottom.

• ME032-009003 Cross - Wayside cross (present location)
  Description

  The Balrath wayside cross (ME032-010----) was moved from its original position c. 270m to the ENE beside the old Kentstown to Duleek road and is now displayed at the SE angle of the Ballymagarvey graveyard (ME032-009001-). It is a small Celtic cross (H 1.75m; span 0.55m) without a ring which has a Crucifixion (Harbison 2000, 40) on the W face and a Pietá on the E, executed in false relief. (King 1984, 105) From King (1984, 105): A Celtic / Iona cross without ring, rectangular in section, decorated on all sides in relief, false relief and incision. Set on a rectangular damaged base. Broken in half, it was repaired by the insertion of two iron riveting bars which have caused damage to the S face. There is a small mortice hole in the upper shaft. A raised moulding outlines the figure sculpture on the E and partly on the W face. W: A Crucifixion. Christ is wearing a stylised perizonium with an elaborate knot above the right hip. Above and below there are a series of architectural motifs, a rosette, a bow, two triangles – one enclosing a triquetra – an ogee-arch, a trefoil, a round arch and a rectangular trefoil-headed panel. E: A Pietá. Below are two inscriptions, the upper in contracted Gothic Latin, crudely executed in false relief: ORATE P AIA / JHOANNIS / BROIN. The lower inscription is in incised Roman capitals: SR. ANDREW / AYLMER OF / MOVNTAYLMER / BART. & HIS LADY / CATHRINE / AYLMER HAD / THIS CORSS / BEAUTIFIED / A.D. 1727 / P. RH. SMITH /. N: A deeply incised face in the centre of the arm. The shaft has the Aylmer knot, a rounded arch enclosing lobes, spirals and a triquetra. S: A face in the centre of the arm. The decoration here is of two periods; the Crucifixion and the Pietá are original and it was probably when Andrew Aylmer had the cross beautified in 1727 by H. Smith that the N and S sides of the cross were decorated and the incised motifs were added. A date in the latter part of the 16th century is suggested. Material: limestone. Dims: shaft (0.28m x 0.24m; H 1.76m) span: 0.55m. See attached view from SE and image of a face from the S arm Date of upload: 23 January, 2015
