• ME025-018001 Church
  Description

  Situated at the edge of a S-facing slope down to a W-E section of the SW-NE River Boyne, with the stream c. 100m to the S. A church at Domnowe is listed in the ecclesiastical taxation (1302-06) of Pope Nicholas IV (Cal. doc. Ire. 5, 261). Ussher (1622) describes the church as reasonably repaired but the chancel as ruinous (Erlington 1847-64, 1, xciv). According to Dopping’s Visitation (1682-5) St. Catherine’s church at Dunmoe was in ruins since 1641 and the graveyard was not enclosed (Ellision 1973, 5). The church is within a subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 35m N-S; c. 30-35m E-W) defined by masonry walls with headstones dating from c. 1722 - c. 1920. The nave (ext. dims 11.5m E-W; 6.8m N-S) and chancel (ext. L 5.7m) of this church are possibly divided as traces of a cross-wall ar present. The W wall with a pointed window and an external square hood moulding, and part of the S wall with a mural stairs to the rood-loft survive (mex. ext. dims of church c. 17m E-W; 6.8m N-S). A pointed doorway (Wth 1m) towards the W end of the S wall is the only access to the church from outside, and a round-headed doorway (Wth 0.86m) further E on the S wall leads to a chamber (ext. dims 6.05m N-S; 4.72m E-W) with a N-S barrel-vault, which is a later addition. The chamber has a light in the E wall and a blocked light on the S wall. A passage (L 1.9m; Wth 0.75m) in the floor leads underground from the N to a burial vault (int. dims 2.95m E-W; 2.8m N-S), which has a N-S barrel-vault. The plain, octagonal, limestone font (ext. dim. 0.62m; H 0.38m) with a circular, straight-sided basin (diam. 0.46m; D 0.22m) and two receding mouldings underneath that was in the church (Roe 1968, 115) is now at the Roman Catholic church of St. Oliver Plunkett, in St. Mary’s Park in Navan (ME025-038----). Dunmoe castle (ME025-018002-) is immediately adjacent outside the graveyard to the E. The abpve 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: 16 December, 2014

• ME025-018002 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  Situated on a bluff (H c. 20m at S) overlooking a weir on a W-E section of the River Boyne which is c. 100m to the S and c. 20m lower. This could be an early castle but its history is obscure. It withstood a siege by rebels in 1641 until Captain Power, its commander, was persuaded to surrender. According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) Thomas Darcy owned the entire parish consisting of 395 acres in 1640, and on the premises there was ‘a Castle, a Church, a Mill, an Orchard and a fishing weare’ (Simington 1940, 322). The D’Arcy family appears to have retained the castle in the Cromwellian settlement and rebuilt it in the reign of James II (1685-89). A drawing from 1795 by Francis Grose (1795, 82-3) shows it an occupied rectangular structure but it is said to have been burned in the rising of 1798 when the north half of it collapsed (Wilde 1849, 166-9). This is a large rectangular structure (dims c. 15m E-W; c. 10m N-S) with circular towers at the angles, but only those at SE and SW survive. The ground floor is buried but was vaulted and had a loft as well as well as two rows of long arrow-loops on the S wall which could indicated a thirteenth century date. There is a newel stairs in the SW tower which has a key-hole gun-loop. The first floor has large windows that are robbed. There is a two-storey gabled building with an oven at the ground floor attached to the E. The church (ME025-018001-) is immediately adjacent to the W. (Sweetman 1999, 99-100) See the attached view from Grose (1795) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987).

• ME025-063 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated on a slight rise at the SE edge of a fairly level landscape with the ground falling away NW-E S, and c. 100m from the crest of a steep slope down (H c. 30m) to a SSW-NNE section of the River Boyne. The cropmark of a subcircular area (int. dims c. 40m NW-SE; c. 35m NE-SW) defined by what might be a stone spread (Wth c. 6-12m) is most clearly visible on Google Earth (12/11/2005; 14/05/2020). It is accompanied by what is probably an outer fosse (Wth c. 5-10m) W-N-E and there is probably an entrance at NW where these features are narrowest and the external ground is level. It was first reported by C. Corlett. See the attached views from Google Earth (12/11/2005; 14/05/2020 Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 31 March 2023
