Recorded monuments

• ME041-006 Church
  Description

  Situated at the bottom of a N-facing slope with the W-E River Deel c. 35m to the N. A church at Killyon is listed in the ecclesiastical taxation (1302-06) of Pope Nicholas IV (Cal. doc. Ire., 5, 257). Ussher describes the church and chancel of Killian as ruinous (Erlington 1847-64, xcix). According to Dopping (1683-5) only the church walls were standing and it was not enclosed (Ellison 1973, 10). The parish church of Killyon is within a subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 40m N-S; c. 35m E-W) that has only modern boundaries of wooden and wire fences. The graveyard has headstones dating from 1757 to 1977. Only the E wall (T 0.95m) and parts of N (int. L 7.4m) and S (int. L 6.2m) walls survive to any extent (max. H 2.5m) of a single cell structure (int. dims 8.35m plus E-W; 5m N-S) that has a destroyed window embrasure (Wth 1.34m) in the E wall and another (Wth 1.43m) in the N wall. A headstone in the church erected in 1787 commemorates seven members of the 18th century Dominican friary at Donore (ME041-007----) c. 2km to the ENE, who are buried here, the earliest date being 1737 (Cogan 1862-70, 1, 309). The holy well (ME041-006002-) is c. 20m to the E. 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: 20 March, 2015

• ME041-006002 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Situated in a clearing within deciduous woodland and at the bottom of a slight N-facing slope with the W-E River Deel c. 35m to the N. It is dedicated to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin, but John O'Donovan, writing in 1836, had little faith in this (Herity 2001, 82). It is a circular consolidated well (int. diam. 1.2m; D 1.1m) approached by steps from the W. It is surrounded by a paved walk (Wth 1.7m), a flower bed (Wth 1.7m) and a low wall and wire fence (diam. 8m). A statue of the Blessed Virgin in a shrine at the E edge of the path is the only evidence of veneration. It took on its present appearance in 1954 (French 2012, 46-7).
