Recorded monuments

• ME024-011 House - 16th/17th century
  Description

  Situated on a fairly level landscape. According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) Lord Ranallah, a Protestant, owned 300 acres at Doramstowne in Ardbrackan parish in 1640, and on the premises were ‘one castle and a stone house’. He also owned most of the rest of the parish (Simington 1940, 232-35). This is a two-storey house with attic aligned N-S and there are four vaults at the ground floor aligned E-W. The original doorway might have been by the pointed doorway in a stairs tower at the S end of the E wall. There are no defensive features and the house was adapted in the nineteenth century when an E-W wing was added at the N end. 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: 16 August 2016

• ME024-012 Church
  Description

  Situated on a fairly level landscape. A subrectangular enclosure (dims c. 70m NW-SE; c. 50m NE-SW) is indicated on 1836 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, but not described. It is not recorded by Ussher (1622) but Dopping's Visitation Book (1682-5) refers to a chapel at Durhamstown, then reduced to the foundations (Ellison 1972, 10, 13) and Cogan (1862-70, 2, 258-9) knew it as Markeystown where interments had occurred within living memory. The stones were used to build the Church of Ireland church of Ardbraccan, which was built in 1777 (Lewis 1837, 1, 42). Air Corps aerial photographs from the late 1940s (V 306/1359) show a rectangular structure within this feature. The site has since been removed and appears as a slightly raised rectangular stony area (dims c. 40m N-S; c. 50m E-W). 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: 20 June, 2014
