Description
Sir William Wilde (1849, 135-6) describes how a large quantity of artefacts relating to horse harness was found in Athlumney, on the E side of A SE-NW section of the Boyne, in constructing the NE-SW railway line into the station at Navan. The artefacts, including bridle-bits, bronze, iron and silver rings, buckles and head-pieces together with human and animal bones were donated to the Museum of the Royal Irish Academy and are now in the National Museum of Ireland. The railway crosses the river on a viaduct but the station is only c. 250m from the river. On this side of the river the ground slopes down gently to the stream, and according to Wilde a souterrain consisting of a straight passage ’53 and a half feet long, eight feet broad and six feet high (L c. 16.3m; Wth c. 2.45m; H c. 1.8m)’ with two spurs leading to beehive chambers came to light in constructing the railway line. Although Wilde thought that much of the structure was preserved, its precise location is not known. 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 upload: 10 July 2007 Revised: 29 March 2023 Wilde, W. R.

- ME025-067 Cross - Wayside cross (present location)
Description
Now on display in the Meath County Library in Navan, This cross once stood beside an old SE-NW road from Navan to Rathaldron Castle (ME025-011----) that fell out of use (Moore 1899). The highly decorated cross shaft (dims 0.24m x 0.19m; H 1.26m) had stood on a plain base (dims 0.74m x 0.7m; H 0.22m) and had been set up in 1588 by Margaret Dexter and her Cusack husband, according to its inscription (Wilde 1850 133-4; Crawford 1920; King 1984, 110). Excavation in 1977 revealed a plinth of two steps made from cut limestone blocks (dims of base 2.5m x 2.5m). The remains of 8 infants and young children were recovered in the vicinity, confirming local traditions of its use as a Childrens Burial Ground (ME025-059----) (Cahill 1987-8). The cross has been described by King as: A shaft fragment rectangular in section set in an undecorated rectangular base. The shaft has rounded edges, an inscription, floral motifs and an heraldic shield in false relief. 1st: The lower part of a shield with the Cusack (per pale or and azure a fess counterchanged) and Dexter (argent a cross fleury gules between four parrots vert) arms impaled and the letters M.C. M.D. 2nd: An inscription in contracted Gothic Latin.

The date and patrons of this cross are evident from the inscription: ‘Cusack Knight and Margaret Dexter his wife and their heirs who had this cross made A.D. 1588 on whose souls may God have mercy.’ Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 16 April, 2015
