Recorded monuments

• ME049-002 Castle - tower house
  Description

  Located towards the top of a S-facing slope. The earliest reference to the castle is in a deed of 1598 where Gerald Wesley of Dangan leases ‘the castle or principal house… in Garris’ to Thomas Aish of Trym (Griffith 1991, 348). According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) Vallerian Weisly of Dangan (ME042-009----) owned 354 acres at Garreris in Gallow parish in 1640, and on the premises was ‘a castle’ (Simington 1940, 160). Only part of the circular N tower with fragments of stairs and lights survives together with a portion of the NE wall, but it had no vault. It had three floors as attested by the two-light windows on the NE wall, those at the ground and first floors under square hood-mouldings. A small crest (dims c. 0.4m x c. 0.3m) carved in false relief depicting three gorgets or crescents and a fess or horizontal bar is now in the garden of a nearby house. It has ‘Beati Pacilis’ (blessings of peace?) inscribed in a cursive script on a ribbon around a dove with an olive branch above the crest, which most resembles the arms of the Dillon family. 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: 13 July 2016

• ME049-009 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a slight rise in a gently undulating landscape. A small circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 25m) is depicted here on the 1936 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as a ‘Fort’, and it is depicted as a small hachured feature on the 1912 edition. This is a subcircular grass-covered area (dims 30m N-S; 25m E-W) defined by traces of a fosse (Wth 3m). It was described locally in 1969 (SMR file) as having had a small bank with an entrance gap at NE. 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: 27 August 2019

• ME049-034001 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  Situated at the crest of the S-facing slope of a broad hill, c. 240m NW of the tower house (ME049-002----) and c. 220m N of the medieval excavated features (ME049-035----). Archaeological testing (06E1231) by A. Collins (2008, 18) in advance of the realignment of a N-S section of the R158 road identified archaeological deposits extending over a narrow strip (dims 100m N-S; 17m E-W) on the E side of the existing road that were subsequently excavated (07E0296) as Site 10 by E. Larsson (excavations.ie 2007:1313). Lithics of a Neolithic character and some pits of later prehistoric date are present, while two cereal-drying kilns were also recorded in this era. Two groups of burials, dating to the early medieval and the post-medieval periods were excavated as well as a N-W ditch that is probably an earlier iteration of the existing road bank and ditch. (Larsson 2009) An isolated oval, flat-bottomed pit (dims 1.03m x 0.6m; max. D 0.36m) had four fills of sandy/silty clays with some charcoal flecks and animal bones. A secondary fill contained three small glass beads, and a sample from the same layer produced a C14 date of 360-90 cal. BC. A pit (dims 0.8m x 0.58m; D 0.3m: ) c. 30m to the N contained fills with burnt stone and a sample returned a determination of 50 cal. BC to 80 cal. AD. The adjacent pit (diam. 1.85m; max. D 0.73m) had six fills, largely of clayey silts with and without animal bones, but the uppermost layer had dense concentrations of charcoal and burnt stones.

• ME049-034002 Kiln
  Description

  Situated at the crest of the S-facing slope of a broad hill, c. 240m NW of the tower house (ME049-002----) and c. 220m N of the medieval excavated features (ME049-035----). Archaeological testing (06E1231) by A. Collins (2008, 18) in advance of the realignment of a N-S section of the R158 road identified archaeological deposits extending over a narrow strip (dims 100m N-S; 17m E-W) on the E side of the existing road that were subsequently excavated (07E0296) as Site 10 by E. Larsson (excavations.ie 2007:1313). Lithics of a Neolithic character and some pits of later prehistoric date are present, while two cereal-drying kilns were also recorded in this era. Two groups of burials, dating to the early medieval and the post-medieval periods were excavated as well as a N-W ditch that is probably an earlier iteration of the existing road bank and ditch. (Larsson 2009) Two kilns were identified c. 40m apart. This N kiln is close to the post-medieval burial group (ME049-034004-). An oval feature (dims 2.9m NW-SE; 0.7-1.2m NE-SW; D 0.15-0.6m) had a sub-rectangular, fire-reddened pit at NW and a drying bowl (diam.; D 0.15m) at SE. It had five fills of silty clays containing ash and charcoal with some animal bone, although no cereal grains were recognized. A sample of hazel from a secondary fill returned a C14 determination of 130-380 cal. AD. (Larsson 2009, 23-24) The S kiln was oval (dims 1.72m plus NW-SE; 1.02m NE-SW; max. D 0.55m) with a fire-reddened base and it had three fills of clayey silts with inclusions of charcoal and animal bone. The uppermost fill was cut by two burials from the early medieval group (ME049-034003-) that dates from the fifth to sixth century AD, which it must therefore pre-date.

• ME049-034003 Burial
  Description

  Situated at the crest of the S-facing slope of a broad hill, c. 240m NW of the tower house (ME049-002----) and c. 220m N of the medieval excavated features (ME049-035----). Archaeological testing (06E1231) by A. Collins (2008, 18) in advance of the realignment of a N-S section of the R158 road identified archaeological deposits extending over a narrow strip (dims 100m N-S; 17m E-W) on the E side of the existing road that were subsequently excavated (07E0296) as Site 10 by E. Larsson (excavations.ie 2007:1313). Lithics of a Neolithic character and some pits of later prehistoric date are present, while two cereal-drying kilns were also recorded in this era. Two groups of burials, dating to the early medieval and the post-medieval periods were excavated as well as a N-W ditch that is probably an earlier iteration of the existing road bank and ditch. (Larsson 2009) A group of 17 inhumations was excavated in a fairly confined area (dims c. 9m N-S; 7m plus E-W) but at least three graves extended E beyond the excavated area. The inhumations were extended in a supine posture and oriented W-E or WNW-ESE with the heads at W. The grave-cuts generally respect each other, and the one grave aligned NW-SE was placed neatly between other graves. They formed two rows placed c. 2-5m apart, with seven graves in the W row and four, on a slightly different alignment, in the E. Three graves were fitted in at the S end of the E row, but these graves, although on markedly different alignments, do not infringe other burials. Only one of the graves had a partial stone lining, but two others had traces of wood beneath the human remains. A late medieval burial was inserted through a grave in the E row. Of the identifiable remains four are male and six are female. The age range is generally 15 to 40 years, with one child of less than four and one adult in the 35-49 age-bracket. One grave contained two young adults, one placed over the other. The lower burial lacked the skull, but three crania and other disarticulated bones representing at least four individuals were in the grave-cut. Three of the burials returned C14 dates within the range of 410-650 cal. AD.

• ME049-034004 Burial
  Description

  Situated at the crest of the S-facing slope of a broad hill, c. 240m NW of the tower house (ME049-002----) and c. 220m N of the medieval excavated features (ME049-035----). Archaeological testing (06E1231) by A.

Two groups of burials, dating to the early medieval and the post-medieval periods were excavated as well as a N-W ditch that is probably an earlier iteration of the existing road bank and ditch. (Larsson 2009) Three extended supine burials were placed in a N-S line with the heads at W. The W end of one burial was slightly truncated by the post-medieval land drain that accompanies the road. The remains were those of a young female and two children less than five years old. A radiocarbon date of 1440-1660 cal. AD was returned for the adult burial. The burial of an adult female aged 26-35 years at the time of death was placed in the group of early medieval interments c. 50m to the S, truncating one of the earlier graves. This individual was laid E-W with the head at E, and a C14 date of 1480-1660 cal. AD was returned for it, which places it in the same time-frame as the small N group.

• ME049-034005 Field boundary
  Description

  Situated at the crest of the S-facing slope of a broad hill, c. 240m NW of the tower house (ME049-002----) and c. 220m N of the medieval excavated features (ME049-035----). Archaeological testing (06E1231) by A. Collins (2008, 18) in advance of the realignment of a N-S section of the R158 road identified archaeological deposits extending over a narrow strip (dims 100m N-S; 17m E-W) on the E side of the existing road that were subsequently excavated (07E0296) as Site 10 by E. Larsson (excavations.ie 2007:1313). Lithics of a Neolithic character and some pits of later prehistoric date are present, while two cereal-drying kilns were also recorded in this era. Two groups of burials, dating to the early medieval and the post-medieval periods were excavated as well as a N-W ditch that is probably an earlier iteration of the existing road bank and ditch. (Larsson 2009) High medieval activity was represented by pits and stakeholes at various points across the excavated area. There were some linear ditches and two metalled surfaces, all suggesting the presence of medieval settlement in the vicinity, perhaps where the present Garadice settlement has been concentrated c. 200m to the N at a cross-roads. The metalled surfaces (dims 4m x 2m: 2.1m x 1.9m) were W of the major N-S drain (L c. 70m; Wth c. 2.2m; max. D 0.7m) that meanders on the E side of the present road and peters out at the S end of the excavated area. It was probably a drainage ditch for an earlier version of the road as the present road bank partly overlaid it. The road has been in place since the late eighteenth century at least as it is represented on Taylor and Skinner’s map of the roads of Ireland of 1783 (Andrews 1969, 91). The primary fills produced sherds of Leinster cooking ware and Dublin-type fine ware, but a fragment of a green glass bottle was also recovered although its contexts cannot be regarded as secure. The secondary fills included the articulated remains of a dog. (ibid. 43-4; 58-60) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 29 June 2021

• ME049-035 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  Situated on a level landscape c. 200m SW of the tower house (ME049-002001-). Archaeological testing (06E1231) by A. Collins (2008, 18-19) in advance of a realignment of the R158 road identified archaeological deposits that were subsequently excavated (07E0295) as Site 11 by E. Larsson (excavations.ie 2007:1314). A large number of features, mostly pits and ditches and a possible wooden structure dating to the high medieval period c. 1250-1400 AD were recorded. Two large pits functioned as water-holes and one was connected with numerous gullies. (Larsson 2009) A large pit (dims 3.5m x 2.2m; max. D 1.85m) had ten fills of heavy clays, sands and redeposited boulder clay. It may have had a deliberately-applied clay lining, and a sample from near the base produced a C14 determination of 1260-1390 cal. AD. Forty three sherds of pottery including Leinster Cooking ware, Dublin and Trim-type coarse and fine wares were recovered. The pit was truncated at SW by a gully (L 2.1m; max. Wth 1.02m; max. D 0.3m) with slag in its fills that led into it. A second large pit (diam. 3.5m; max. D 1.6m) that was re-cut once was 13m to the S. The original cut had five fills, including the primary heavy clay that might have been intended as a lining. The re-cut pit (dims 3m x 2.1m; D 0.6m) had four fills of sandy or silty clays that were less productive of animal bones but the usual range of ceramic and metal finds was present. A number of pits and gullies connected with each other and with the water-holes. Stratigraphic relationships can be established between many of them but they all produce the same range of ceramics and artefacts as the two water-holes. However, no pattern can be discerned, and only two hearths are identified. A structure (dims 8m plus N-S; 8m plus E-W) is defined by narrow, disconnected slot-trenches on the N and W sides but it extends outside the excavated area to the E and S. There were numerous post-holes and pits within, and a large quantity of carbonised grain was recovered from the slot-trenches so it may have functioned as a granary. A sample produced a C14 determination of 1280-1400 cal. AD. (ibid. 31-2) The features represent agricultural activities in the main but the persistence of slag throughout the area suggests that metal-working was conducted in the vicinity. The excavated area is probably on the periphery of a settlement that lay further E. In total over 1000 sherds of 12th – 14th century local wares were recovered as well as iron nails, iron tools, a stick-pin and a folded Edward I penny.
