Recorded monuments

• ME038-010 Ceremonial enclosure
  Description

  Located on a S-facing slope of Windmill Hill, 110m SW of the Irishtown henge (ME038-011----) and 800m N of a canalised ESE-WNW section of the River Hurley, a tributary of the River Nanny. This is a circular enclosure (diam. c. 140m) defined by an earthen bank that varies in scale from at W (Wth of base 7.2m; int. H 1.7m; ext. H 2.2m) to at SSW (Wth of base 10.5m; max. int. H 1.5m; max. ext. H 2.25m), but there is no visible fosse either within or without. It is truncated by a NW-SE lane at E which has removed a considerable length of the perimeter (L c. 60m) and the bank is lowest (at S: Wth of base 10m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 2m) S of this break. There are gaps at S (Wth 32m), SW (Wth 12.2m) and NW (Wth 17m) and there is a modern entrance (Wth 4m) at N, but the original entrance is probably that at SW where the ground level falls sharply immediately outside. The house (ME038-010001-) is in the north interior, and the souterrain (ME038-032----) was discovered c. 70m outside the perimeter to the NE. Archaeological testing (12E0049) by R. Meenan c. 20m to the E at the closest point produced no related material (excavation.ie 2012:462) and further testing (13E0443) by the same archaeologist c. 70m to the SW provided a similar result (excavations.ie 2013:426). Archaeological testing (17E0390) by R. Meenan c. 350m to the SSW and on a laneway extending NE from it produced no archaeological material (excavations.ie 2017:780).

• ME038-010001 House - 18th/19th century
  Description

  Situated on a slight SW-facing slope in the N interior Kilbrew ceremonial enclosure (ME038-010----). The manor of Kilbrew was owned by Patrick Barnwall of Kilbrew in 1640 and on the 366 acres he owned was a destroyed stone house, a stable and a barn in repair, an orchard, a church, a watermill and about 12 tenements (Simington 1940, 94), but his stone house is likely to be (ME038-029----). This house is depicted only on the 1908 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a roofless building. It is a rectangular structure (ext. dims 11.15m N-S; 11.05m E-W) of two storeys and attic constructed with masonry walls (T 0.6-0.8m) but with brick at the windows on the first floor. Only the E and W gables survive with a fireplace at the ground floor in the W gable and evidence of three fireplaces and an oven in the E gable at the ground floor. There are two small windows at the ground floor in the W gable, and the base of an entrance embrasure is in the S wall towards the W end. At the first floor there are two large windows with brick surrounds in the E gable and two in the W gable, which also has evidence of two round-backed fireplaces at the centre separated by a dividing wall. The house is probably eighteen century in date. There is one small attic window in the W gable but evidence of the roof does not survive. 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: 13 April 2022

• ME038-032 Souterrain
  Description

  Located on a S-facing slope. A souterrain came to light during land works in April 1995. It consisted of a passage (exposed L 1.55m; Wth at base 0.7-0.75m; H 0.93-0.95m) leading at its SE end to an oval beehive chamber (dims 2.6-2.85m; N-S; 2.2m E-W; original H c. 2m) that had been closed with a single capstone, which had been dislodged. There is bedrock exposed in the chamber at W, and an air-vent (Wth 0.32m; H 0.3m; exposed L 1.2m) c. 1m over the floor of the chamber at SE sloped upwards steeply. The perimeter of the Irishtown henge (ME038-011----) is c. 70m to the N and the perimeter of the Kilbrew henge (ME038-010----) is c. 70m to the SW. Archaeological testing (12E0049) by R. Meenan within c. 30m of the location produced no evidence of any associated enclosure or structures (excavation.ie 2012:462).
