Situated on a bluff overlooking the valley of the S-N Blackwater River, with the stream c. 60m to the W. It is not listed as a church in the deanery of Clonard in the ecclesiastical taxation (1302-06) of Pope Nicholas IV, unless its name is not recognised (Cal. doc. Ire., 5, 257-8). The names of some of the clergy are known, including Thomas Mareshall, who was presented in 1389, Hugo O’Kervane (1412), and Christopher Gaffney, who was presented in 1557 (Cogan 1867, vol. 2, 365-6). The earliest description of the church is from Ussher (1622), who describes the church and chancel as ruinous when Myles Pemberton was the rector (Erlington 1847-64, 1, C). According to Dopping (1682-5) the church of St Nicholas was ruined and the graveyard was not enclosed (Ellison 1973, 10). The present Church of Ireland church, which was extant in 1837 (Lewis 1, 307) was still functioning in 1910 (OS 6-inch map) but it is now roofless. It is probably 18th century in date and occupying the site of the medieval church, of which there are no visible remains within a rectangular graveyard (dims c. 40m WNW-ESE; c. 30m NNE-SSW) defined by earthen banks at N and E and by masonry walls at S and W, which retain the slope. The headstones date from 1716 to c. 1900, but the extraordinary Swifte mausoleum in the form of a tetrahedron (L of side 4.54-4.6m) of interlocking limestone pieces has no date of inscription. The motte (ME041-014----) is c. 25m to the N and the field system (ME041-015----) is around both features to the N and E. 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: 20 March, 2015

Situated on a bluff overlooking the valley of the S-N Blackwater River, with the stream c. 60m to the W. The site of the medieval parish church of Castlerickard (ME031-014001-) is within a rectangular graveyard (dims c. 40m WNW-ESE; c. 30m NNE-SSW) defined by earthen banks at N and E and by masonry walls at S and W, which retain the slope. The headstones date from 1716 to c. 1900, but the extraordinary Swifte mausoleum in the form of a tetrahedron (H 4.45m) of interlocking limestone pieces has no date. The motte (ME041-014----) is c. 15m to the N and the field system (ME041-015----) is around both features to the N and E. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 20 March, 2015

Located on a slight S-facing slope and immediately in the area to the N and E of the motte (ME041-014----) and the site of the medieval parish church (ME041-015----). Henry Burnell owned 320 acres at Calsterickard and Ballinahane in 1640 and on the premises were one castle, one mill and a weir (Simington 1940, 191). An area of about 17 ha (c. 43 acres) in pasture contains the remnants of a field system consisting of rectangular fields (dims c. 70m x c. 30m to c. 100m x c. 50m). The fields are defined by low earthen banks or silted ditches (Wth c. 5m; max. D 0.5m), and there are some larger rectangular or square fields (dims c. 200m x c. 200m). The smallest plots (dims c. 40m x c. 20m) are closest to the motte. Within the fields a roadway (Wth c. 5-15m; L c. 180m) defined by earthen banks extends NNE from the vicinity of the church and then turns NE (L c. 180m). Cultivation ridges occupy some of the fields. It is visible on aerial photographs (GSIAP: N 304, 302) and is also visible on Google Earth (18/04/2009; 17/07/2016; 24/03/2017).

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.
