## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- ME022-012: Church, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CME022-012----. Situated in an undulating landscape. The parish church of Killallon is within a rectangular graveyard (dims c. 75m E-W; c. 60m N-S) defined by a slight earthen bank inside masonry walls, which form the townland boundary with Loughanderg on every side except the S. A church at Killalon is listed in the ecclesiastical taxation (1302-06) of Pope Nicholas IV (Cal. doc. Ire. 5, 259). Cogan (1862-70, 2, 287) says the church was dedicated to St. Bartholomew. Ussher (1622) describes the church and chancel as somewhat ruinous (Erlington 1847-64, 1, cxvii). According to Dopping’s visitation (1682-5) the church and chancel were ruined, although the graveyard was enclosed (Ellison 1975, 9). This is a divided nave (int. dims 16 E-W; 5.95m N-S) and chancel (int. dims 9m E-W; 5m N-S) structure with walls that survive (H c. 1.2m) completely, but the nave walls are drystone with a modern entrance (Wth 1.35m) in the N wall and a narrower entrance in the S. The chancel walls (T 0.8m) are mortared, and the chancel appears to have been added to the nave. There is a holy water stoup on the S nave wall. Archaeological excavation (93E0027) of the earthen bank revealed a stone wall (Wth 0.45m; H 0.5m) at it is core (Meenan 1995). The graveyard is now extended to the S (dims c. 75m E-W; c. 25m N-S), and the motte (ME022-) is c. 90m SW of the church. 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 upload/revision: 16 December, 2014
- ME022-012001: Graveyard, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CME022-012001-.

The graveyard is now extended to the S (dims c. 75m E-W; c. 25m N-S), and the motte (ME022-010----) is c. 90m SW of the church. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 16 December, 2014
- ME022-017: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CME022-017----. Situated on a spur of a low ridge in an undulating, low-lying landscape. It is not depicted on any edition of the OS 6-inch map. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 18m NW-SE; 16.6m NE-SW) that slopes down slightly to the SE. It is defined by a grass-covered stone spread (at WNW: Wth 1.3m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.6m) with no visible facing stones, and there is no identifiable original entrance. 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: 10 January 2019

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
