Recorded monuments

• ME012-007 Church
  Description

  Situated on a knoll in an undulationg landscape with the S-N Killary Water c. 550m to the E. A church at the vill de Stokes is listed in the ecclesiastical taxation (1302-06) of Pope Nicholas IV (Cal. doc. Ire. 5, 261). Ussher (1622) describes the church and chancel at Strokestowne as ruinous (Erlington 1847-64, 1, xciv). The church of Michellstonne is depicted as a roofless ruin on the Down Survey (1656-8) barony map of Slane with a castle adjacent. According to Dopping’s Visitation (1682-5) the parish church Stokestown alias Mitchelstown was dedicated to St. Nicholas, but while the walls of the church were standing the chancel was not and it was not enclosed (Ellison 1973, 6). The site of the medieval parish church of Mitchelstown parish is within a sub-triangular graveyard (max. dims c. 50m E-W; c. 33m N-S) defined by a stone-clad scarp, with the apex at E that has a public road curving around the perimeter NW-E-SE. The church is visible as the grass covered foundations of nave (int. dims 10.7m plus E-W; c. 4m N-S) and chancel (int. dims 4.8m E-W; E-W; 3.4mm N-S) structure with part of the overgrown SW angle of the nave standing (H c. 2m). The site of Stokestown castle (ME012-008----) is c. 60m to the E.

• ME012-008 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  A castle at Clontail (4) in Mitchelstown parish and Slane barony is depicted on the Down Survey (1656-8) barony map adjacent to the church (http://downsurvey.tcd.ie/). According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) the John Stoakes owned 194 acres at Mitchelstowne and Clontoule in 1640, which together comprised the whole parish, and ‘a stone house, a corn mill, a tuck mill, and some cabins’ were on the Stokes property (Simington 1940, 358). Stokestown Castle is depicted as a fragment of a wall on the 1836 ed. of the OS 6-inch map c. 60m E of the parish church (ME012-007----). There is a slight rise in a gently undulating landscape. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987).

• ME012-054 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a rise on the E-facing slope of a low N-S ridge. A magnetic gradiometer survey (19R0077) conducted by J. Nicholls on behalf of Meath County Council identified a circular area (int. diam. c. 30m N-S) defined by a fosse-like feature that that has an entrance gap (Wth c. 2m) at NE and is possibly truncated by a N-S field bank at W (Nicholls 2019, 12). Archaeological testing (19E0565) confirmed the presence of a silted fosse (Wth of top 1.4-2.1m) at three points. It was filled with a dark brown soil that has charcoal flecks but was not excavated. A cross-shaped anomaly outside the enclosure to the E was a pit (dims 2.8m x 1.1m plus) filled with a dark brown silty clay with bone fragments, and a piece of iron slag was recovered from its surface.
