• ME032-040001 Cross - Wayside cross (present location)
  Description

  A late medieval cross fragment which originally came from the hill of Lismullin (ME032-066----) (Cogan 1862-70, 1, 227), perhaps close to the site of Templekeeran church (ME032-022----) is now set up outside St Colmcille's Roman Catholic church. It has been described by King (1984, 109) as: The four fragments of this cross were lying in the R.C. churchyard at Skreen for many years. Re-erected there in 1983. Material: fossiliferous limestone. Dims.: shaft: H 0.64m; Wth 0.3m; D c. 0.16m; inscribed fragment: H 0.32m; Wth 0.26m; D 0.12. The segments which survive are rectangular in section and have chamfered edges. Three fragments have figure sculpture; the fourth has an inscription in Roman lettering in relief. 1st: A Crucifixion. Christ on a raised Latin cross with two smaller crosses on either side. Above the crucifixion is an INRI with a rayed sun on the left and a moon and star on the right. 2nd : A rayed sun enclosing an IHS and cross. Below this a small gowned figure carrying a large Latin cross. Only a few letters of the inscription on the fourth fragment can be deciphered: …A / …RAN../…F ED../..ARD VI…/..O../. This is probably the shaft referred to by Dean Cogan on the hill of Lismullin which had an inscription as follows: ‘Reader pray for the soul of Thomas Cusack, Knight, Lord Baron and Chancellor of Ireland in the reign of Edward VI who brought the Irish [obliterated] May God in his mercy take him to himself.’ The letters at present legible would fit in with this transcription if the last two lines are read ‘of Edward VI who brought’ etc. The cross was in the yard at Lismullin for many years having been brought there by Sir John Dillon from outside Temple Kieran churchyard. Re-erected at Temple Kieran by Peter Hughes and finally brought to Skreen by Fr. Cooney in 1959 (information from Helen Hickey, Skreen Castle). It was probably carved c. 1588. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987).

• ME032-040003 Font
  Description

  The Roman Catholic church of Skreen was built in 1827 according to a stone in its tower. Built into the inner faces of the walls of the porch are two medieval fonts that are used as stoups. These were probably taken from unknown medieval church sites in the vicinity. That on the W side is an eight-sided and eroded piece of sandstone (ext. dim. 0.55m; H 0.35m) with a circular basin (int. diam. 0.44m; D 0.2m) and chamfered under-panels.

That on the E side is an eight-sided limestone (ext. dim. 0.65m) polished from wear with a circular basin (int. diam. 0.48m; D 0.22m) which has pock-marked inner surfaces.

• ME038-003 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located at the SW edge of a broad low hill. Described in 1969 (SMR file) is a raised subcircular and grass-covered area (dims 53m N-S; c. 40m E-W) that slopes down to the SE (H c. 1.2m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base 6-7.5m; ext. H 2-2.5m) except NNE-SSE where it is defaced. There is an external fosse (Wth of top 13m; Wth of base 4m; int. D 1.7m; ext. D 0.7m) that can be distinguished from the bank SW-NW, but an original entrance is not identified. The perimeter is being eroded NW-E-SW since c. 2005 and it now has a rectangular appearance. The name Colliersttown is derived from Calliagh, meaning an old woman or a nun, and St. Mary’s Abbey of Odder (ME032-078---) was in the vicinity. In a confirmation of its possessions in 1196 Dún Domhnaill, described as in the adjacent field, was amongst its possessions, and Bhreathnach (1999, 9) suggests that this may be a reference to this rath. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987).

• ME038-051 Burial ground
  Description

  Situated on a slight N-facing slope with the small SE-NW Gowra stream c. 40m to the SW. This monument was identified in centre-line testing (04E0422) as part of the preparations for the M3 motorway when five extended burials were recovered (Clarke 2004). A geophysical survey identified an outer (diam. c. 50m) and an inner enclosure (diam. c. 20m) defined by ditches (Nichols 2006), along with a ring-ditch (ME038-052----) c. 300m to the NE. It was excavated fully (E3068) in 2006-07, apart from the NW extremity of the final enclosure (O’Hara 2009). Sixty one inhumations were recovered, and four phases of burial activity were noted after the founding burial. Four main episodes of enclosure also occurred, marking its progression from a ring-barrow to an open ring-ditch and finally to an enclosed cemetery, which is now cogently analysed (O’Hara 2010). The excavation provides an insight into the development of the burial place of a wealthy group from the mid-5th to mid-7th centuries, with no evidence of an overt Christian contribution. The inhumation of an adult female with burnt clay, bone and wood charcoal was placed within an enclosure (diam. c. 16m) defined by segmented ditches E-S-W. In this initial phase seven burials were inserted into the low mound of the ring-barrow (diam. c. 8m), and 14 burials around it are closely associated as a second group and confined by the fosse. The ditches were re-cut, probably with an internal bank, and re-cut again as it developed into a ring-ditch (int. diam. 22m). At this stage exotic items begin to appear, such as imported pottery from Gaul (E-ware) and the east Mediterranean (Bii-ware; Late Roman c/Ai ware), as well as a whale-bone sword hilt of sub-Roman type. A third group of at least 26 inhumations extended in the E-W orientation were added in four fairly neat rows with some disarticulated bone from earlier burials. The most easterly row extended the cemetery over the original ditch at E and necessitated a new, crescent-shaped ditch 4m further E that was re-cut at least once (L 19.5m; Wth 1.6m; D 0.4m). A final group of 12 burials in three less regular lines, and including for the first time infants (3), extended the cemetery over this eastern ditch. A small rectangular structure (int. dims 6m N-S; 6m E-W) just N of the enclosure with a wide opening in the S wall opposite one in the ditch of the ring-ditch is probably contemporary and would have served as a shelter and a locus for feasting. The site was now enclosed by a ditch or fosse (Wth 2.4-4m; D c. 1-1.4m) making a subcircular enclosure (int. dims 40m N-S; 35m E-W), probably with an internal bank although a bank was not evident. A later burial does occur in the 8th or 9th century, but animal bone also appears, so while morphologically the monument has the appearance of a rath, it was not occupied, and enclosure effectively terminated its use as a cemetery. A final phase, close in time to the enclosing ditch, was the addition of a triangular annexe (dims c. 30m E-W; c. 22m N-S) defined by ditches attached to the S of the rath, which produced very little material, but the final deposits contained 13-14th century Dublin wares and even post-medieval material. The grave-pits were sometimes lined with stones and traces of a wood-lining was noted in three instances of Group 2 burials. Both male and female were equally represented at all phases. The rite was extended inhumation, and no cremation was detected. Eleven radiocarbon determinations were obtained and the calibrated dates to two sigma fall between two broad ranges – AD 422 to 609, and AD 539 to 662 – separating around the later burials of the third group of burials.

• ME038-052 Ring-ditch
  Description

  Situated on a slight N-facing slope. A geophysical survey (Nichols 2006) undertaken in relation to the cemetery (ME038-051----) identified a ring-ditch (int. diam. c. 12m) defined by a single continuous ditch feature.

• ME038-053 Fulacht fia
  Description

  Situated on a gentle N-facing slope with the SE-NW River Gowra c. 15m to the W, and first identified by Carmel Diviney. An oval stony mound (dims 13m N-S; 5.6m E-W; H 0.4-0.45m) has two visible but loose limestone slabs (dims 0.7m x 0.5m; 0.8m x 0.45m) at its N end and one (dims 0.85m x 0.45m) at the S end. The immediate area when ploughed exposes an extensive area (dims c. 56m N-S; c. 20m E-W) of broken and burnt stones. The burial ground (ME038-051----) is c. 70m to the N.
