Description
Situated on a prominent flat-topped knoll with a S-N section of the River Boyne c. 80m to the E. It is described as ruined by Ussher in 1622 (Erlington 1847, vol. 1, App. 5, lxxx), and Dopping (1682-5) lists Drinadaly as one of the chapels of St Patrick’s parish church in Trim (ME036-048012-) (Ellison 1972, 8). There is a small chapel or mortuary enclosure (int. dims 5.4m E-W; 4m N-S) with slight walls (Wth 0.5m; H 1.8m). The W gable has a slate on the inside commemorating Archibald O’Reilly with the date 1820, when the enclosure was probably built. There is a small pointed opening (Wth 0.47m; H 0.68m) in the S wall, while a porch projecting 0.7m from the E wall has a pointed doorway (Wth 0.9m; H 1.95m). There is no indication of an older structure. An octagonal piece of stone (dim. 0.43m; H 0.23m) may be part of the base of a font (SMR file, 1969), but it was not noted in 2004, and a small bowl (ext. diam. 0.33m; H 0.25m) with lugs (SMR file, 1969) is also missing. The church was within a subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 38n N-S; c. 28m E-W) defined by masonry walls around the mound that might originally have been a motte (ME036-035002-). 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. Date of revision: 16 February 2014

Description
Situated on a slight rise on the N bank of the River Boyne which is c. 40m distant at a point where the stream changes from a W-E to a S-N course. This is depicted as a rectangular hachured feature only on the 1912 edition of the OS 6-inch map. It is a rectangular grass-covered area (dims 59m NE-SW; 34m NW-SE) defined by low earthen banks (Wth of base 4-4.4m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.9-1.2m) and outer rounded fosses (Wth of base 1m; ext. D 0.3-0.4m) with trees on most of the banks. The entrance is by a causeway towards the N end of the NW side. There are two rectangular house-sites adjacent to each other and only 1m apart in the interior, with the doorways facing towards each other. The SE house (ext. dims 10m NE-SW; c. 7m NW-SE) which abuts onto the bank at SE is defined by low earthen banks (Wth 3m; H 0.3m) and has a doorway (Wth 0.5m) at the centre of the NW side.
