- ME019-004: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CME019-004----. Located at the crest of the S-facing slope of a WNW-ESE ridge towards its E end. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 38m) defined by an earthen bank (at SSW: Wth of base 6.7m; Wth of top 0.9m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 2.2m) separated by a fosse (at SSW: Wth of top 6.8m; Wth of base 2.9m; ext. D 0.3m) and a berm (at SSW: Wth 6.2m) from an outer bank (at SSW: Wth of base 5.1m; Wth of top 0.6m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.8m) with some bushes, and an external fosse (At SSW: Wth of top 3.8m; Wth of base 1.4m; ext. D 0.45m). The outer fosse is replaced by a drain with an outer road bank NNW-ENE. The interior has probably been dug out and the earthworks are poorly preserved at E, where entrance may have been (max. ext. diam. 96m E-W). Archaeological testing (11E0366) by P. D. Sweetman c. 100m to the E produced no related material (excavations.ie 2011:479). 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 upload: 10 July 2007 Amended: 27 January 2021, 19 March, 2021
- ME019-005: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CME019-005----. Situated on a small WNW-ESE ridge which is on the S-facing slope of a larger WNW-ESE ridge. This is depicted as a hachured feature only on the 1908 edition of the OS 6-inch map. It was described in 1969 (SMR file) as a raised grass and scrub-covered circular area (diam. 32m NNW-SSE) defined by a high scarp (H 1.8-2.3m) NW-E-SW, with a slight bank (int. H 0.4m at NNE) on its upper edge NNW-NE and ESE-SSW. There was no visible fosse but the entrance may have been at W where the scarp was lowest. Inside the bank at NNE was a small house site (int. dims c. 2m x c. 2m) defined by a low bank (Wth 3m; H 0.2m) but the centre of the rath which slopes down to the SSE (H 1m) was occupied by a larger house site (int. dims c. 10m E-W; 4m N-S). A short section of a N-S field bank from a relict field system was attached to the perimeter at N and a relict E-W field bank crossed the interior S of the centre. The parish church of Gernonstown is c. 40m to the S, but the visible profile of this monument had been removed by 1995 (OSI images). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987).

Situated on a small WNW-ESE ridge which is on the S-facing slope of a larger WNW-ESE ridge. Inside the bank of rath (ME019-005----) at NNE was a small grass-covered house site (int. dims c. 2m x c. 2m) defined by a low bank (Wth 3m; H 0.2m). It had been removed by 1995 (OSAP).

Situated on a small WNW-ESE ridge which is on the S-facing slope of a larger WNW-ESE ridge. The centre of rath (ME019-005----) was occupied by the foundations of a large, grass-covered house site (int. dims c. 10m E-W; 4m N-S) defined by low earthen banks. It had been removed by 1995 (OSAP). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 27 January 2021
- ME019-006: Church, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CME019-006----. Located on the outer edge of a shelf towards the bottom of a gentle S-facing slope. A church at the ‘vill de Gernoun’ is listed in the ecclesiastical taxation (1302-06) of Pope Nicholas IV (Cal. doc. Ire. 5, 261). Ussher (1622) describes the church and chancel as in reasonable repair (Erlington 1847-64, 1, xcii). Dopping (1682-5) describes it as ruined and the graveyard was not enclosed but the font is mentioned (Ellison 1973, 6). The parish church of Gernonstown is within a rectangular graveyard (dims c. 50m E-W; c. 40m N-S) defined by earthen banks at N and E and masonry walls at S and W. The church is an undivided nave and chancel structure (int. dims 23m E-W; 6.4m N-S) with ivy covered walls (T c. 1m) that survive almost complete, except most of the N and E walls. There are gaps towards the W end of the N and S walls, probably for doorways, and a portion of a window with glazing-grooves and bar-holes is towards the E end of the S wall where there is a piscina. The remains of a large tracery window of two lights are in the W wall, but this wall is supported by buttresses. A barrel-vaulted chamber (int. dims 5.11m E-W; 2.4m N-S; H 2.65m) attached externally to the E end of the N wall is probably a sacristy as it is connected with the church by a lintelled passage (Wth 0.87m; H 1.63m; L 1.55m). A plain subcircular, sandstone font (ext. diam. 0.63-0.7m, max. H 0.46m) with a circular basin (diam. 051m; D 4-12cm) that has damaged side-walls was described as in the church (Cogan 1862-70, 2, 303) but became deeply embedded in the ground (Roe 1968, 119) of the rectangular graveyard. It is now outside the Roman Catholic church at Rushwee (ME019-118----), c. 1km to the S. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987).

Located on the outer edge of a shelf towards the bottom of a gentle S-facing slope. The parish church of Gernonstown (ME019-006----) is within a rectangular graveyard (dims c. 50m E-W; c. 40m N-S).

A subcircular sandstone font (diam. 0.63-0.7m; max. surviving H 0.46m) with a circular basin (int. diam. 0.5m; max. surviving D 0.16m) was recorded in Gernonstown church (ME019-006----) (Cogan 1862-70, 2, 303), but it became deeply embedded in the ground (Roe 1968, 119) of the rectangular graveyard (ME019-006001-).

Located towards the bottom of a S-facing slope and c. 100m N of a small NW-SE stream. A mound, described as a ‘Moat’, is depicted on the 1836 and 1908 editions of the OS 6-inch map. This is a flat-topped mound (diam. of base 33m E-W; diam. of top 15-16.5m; H 3m) with no evidence of a surrounding fosse or bank but with a plough scarp on the W side. The river is identified as the Tromma and the mound as Sídh Tromma (Morris 1926, 37) which featured in the legendary route Queen Maeve took from Rathcroghan to Cooley. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987).
