Recorded monuments
- ME017-042 Rock art
Description
Situated on a low-lying, level landscape. A large stone (dims 1.7m x 0.9-1m x 0.9-1m) came to light before 1970 with a single motif of four concentric penannular rings (int. diam. 0.08m; max. ext. diam. 0.25m). The opening (Wth 0.3m) extends through the four rings at the same point. The stone is now kept at a house in Braystown, Rathbranchurch. (Clinton 1983) 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 April 2019
- ME018-001 Cross - Wayside cross
Description
This cross-base was situated on a mound at the SE side of a NE-SW public road in a gently undulating landscape. Cogan (1862-70, 2, 284) notes that it 'had been broken in twain.' The base is undecorated, roughly rectangular and pyramidal-shaped (dims of top 0.73-0.78m; dims of base 0.8-0.87m; H 0.35m) with a small chamfer at the top and a rectangular socket (dims 0.23m x 0.2m; D 0.2m) in the centre. The mound and cross-base were disturbed in 2004 when human remains were uncovered representing at least a middle-aged male: this was dated to AD 1486-1650 (King 2010, 146-151: see ME018-001001-). A rescue excavation (Licence No. 04E1028) revealed a stony platform (c. 2m sq.) which had formed a foundation for the cross base (Murphy 2007). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987). In this instance the entry has been changed in the light of further work. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout, Paul Walsh Date of upload: 20 October 2014
