- ME032-008: Church, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CME032-008----. Located on a slight rise of a S-facing slope near the W head of a small W-E valley. A church at Daveney is listed in the ecclesiastical taxation (1302-06) of Pope Nicholas IV (Cal. doc. Ire. 5, 255). Ussher (1622) describes the church of Danistowne as repaired and the chancel as ruined (Erlington 1847-74, 1, lxxv). According to Dopping (1682-5) the church and chancel had been ruined since 1641 and it was not enclosed (Elliot 1972, 59). The conserved remains of part of the S wall (L c. 3m; H 2m), and parts of the W and N walls indicate a rectangular building (int. dims 10m plus E-W; 5.7m N-S) within a subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 65m NE-SW; c. 30m NW-SE at NE to c. 48m NE-SW at SW) defined by a stone-faced earthen bank (Wth c. 4-5m). The inscriptions of many of the headstones have been published (Moore et al. 1974). Three pieces of window sill are used as grave-markers, and the head of an ogee-headed window and pieces of window tracery are in the graveyard. Inside the entrance on the N side of the graveyard and secured to the masonry of the bank there is part of the bottom of the basin of an octagonal font (dim. 0.3m; H 0.25m) and part of its waisted stem (dim. 0.32m; H 0.17m) with a cordon. The perimeter of Danestown rath (ME032-007----) is c. 15m outside the graveyard to the NE. 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: 23 January 2015

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.
