• ME013-014 Enclosure
  Description

  Located at the W end of a short E-W ridge (L c. 200m). A large embanked subcircular enclosure (ext. dims c. 70m N-S; c. 60m E-W) is depicted on the 1836 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is annotated as a ‘Fort’, but only a slight curve in a field bank at N is represented on the 1908 edition. A chord (L 35m) of the bank survives incorporated into a field bank (Wth of base 3m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.5m) at N but this would have been a substantial rath. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987).

A circular wooded enclosure (diam. c. 50m) is depicted on the 1836 and 1908 editions of the OS 6-inch map. It was described in 1969 (SMR file) as a circular grass-covered area (diam. c. 50m E-W; 49m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (at ENE: Wth of base 3.8m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.2m) that had and outer stone facing NNE-E-SW. There was no evidence of trees or of an outer ditch and an entrance was not recognised. Just NW of the centre was the foundations of a two-roomed structure (dims 11.4m NE-SW; 5.4-7.3m NW-SE, crest to crest) defined by slight banks (Wth 1.9m; H 0.2-0.35m) but an entrance doorway was not identified.

  Description

  Located at the crest of a W and S-facing slope at the SW edge of a fairly level plateau. A large circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 70m) that is annotated as a ‘Fort’ is depicted on the 1836 edition of the OS 6-inch map but only an arc of the bank SE-W-NW is represented on the 1908 edition with a mound, probably representing spoil, in the interior. The bank (at SW: Wth of base 2.4m; Wth of top 0.8m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.8m) survives SE-W-NW, with an outer drain SE-SW. There is an oval grass-covered mound (dims 16m NW-SE; 12.5m NE-SW; max. H 1.2m at SE) inside the bank at SE that melds into the natural ground level and is probably the spoil from the removal of the rest of the bank.

This is depicted only on the 1908 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is annotated in italic lettering as ‘Standing Stone’.

• ME013-025 Church
  Description

  Situated at the summit of an E-W ridge in the NW SE valley of the Devlin River, with the stream c. 50m to the S. A church at Graungegeth is listed in the ecclesiastical taxation (1302-06) of Pope Nicholas IV (Cal. doc. Ire. 5, 261). Grangegeeth was part of the estate of the Cistercian monastery at Mellifont, which it may have served as an outfarm. As such it would have been largely self-sufficient, and would have had a chapel. At the Suppression in 1540 the Cistercians owned 180 acres, 12 messuages or properties, and three cottages at Graungethe, and customary services were due from 17 other cottages (White 1943, 217). By order of the King Robert Nangeley, a former monk, continued to officiate at the chapel in Graungeythe (ibid. 219). Ussher (1622) describes the church and chancel at Graungeethe as in reasonable repair (Erlington 1847-64, 1, xcvii). According to Dopping’s Visitation (1682-5) the church and chancel were ruined and it was not enclosed (Ellison 1973, 7). By the 19th century Grangegeeth had been raised to the dignity of a parish, but it was tithe free and did not possess a church (Lewis 1837, vol. 1, 691). The site of this medieval chapel is within a rectangular graveyard (dims c. 35m WNW-ESE; c. 30m NNE-SSW) defined by stone-faced earthen banks or scarps. One of the graves is a mortsafe i.e. enclosed in an iron cage as a deterrent to grave-robbers (Mytum 2013). Cogan (1862-70, 2, 303) records the dimensions of the church as ’63 feet by 16 feet 6 inches (c. 19.2m x c. 5m)’. Only the base of the clay-bonded W wall (Wth 1.2m; int. L 4.7m; H 0.8m) and adjacent portions of the N (int. L 4.8m; Wth 1.15m; H 0.8-1m) and S (int. L 2m; max. H 0.5m) walls are visible.

• ME013-026 Souterrain
  Description

  Located on a gentle S-facing slope with a W-E section of the Devlin River c. 50m to the S. This souterrain was first identified in the W face of a gravel quarry in December 1939. When a beehive chamber partially collapsed in June 1946 a measured plan was made by the owner’s son, Peter Fleming, which was forwarded by the Gardaí in Slane to the National Museum of Ireland (NMI file). It had an entrance passage (L 1.2m E-W; Wth 0.8m) that was blocked at its W end but at E it opened into a N-S passage (L 12.2m) that extended a little way N of the entrance passage but at its S end it entered a beehive chamber (diam. 3m; H 2.5m) that had an air-vent 1.7m over the floor extending S (L 1.4m plus). The entrance (Wth of base 0.75m; Wth of top 0.6m; H 1.1m) to this chamber was lintelled and had large boulders at the bottom. Back along the passage (4.2m) another passage (Wth 0.8m; H 0.65m) extended E (L 4.4m) leading to a smaller beehive chamber (diam. 2.8m) that had partially collapsed. This chamber was entered from the passage through a lintelled doorway (Wth of base 0.6m; Wth of top 0.45m; H 1.2m). The souterrain was closed at this time. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987).
