No designated site (Special Area of Conservation, Special Protection Area, Natural Heritage Area or proposed one) touches the townland of Fletcherstown.

## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- ME017-042: Rock art, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CME017-042----. 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, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CME018-001----. 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
- ME018-001001: Burial, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CME018-001001-. In 2004 a mound and cross base (ME018-001----) were disturbed and human remains uncovered. These represented at least a middle-aged male and dated to AD 1486-1650 (King 2010). Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Date of upload: 24 February 2010

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
