• ME043-041 Field system
  Description

  Situated on a fairly level landscape in the area to the N of Kilmore church (ME043-0043----). Relict fields covering about 10.5 ha (c. 27 acres) are visible on an oblique aerial photograph (CUCAP: APE 5). The fields tend to be circular (diam. c. 60-80m) and are defined by low banks (Wth 3-4m; H 0.4-0.6m) and scarps (H c. 0.5m). A relict road (Wth c. 10m) extends N-S at the E edge of the fields. Much of the area, particularly at its E edge has been ploughed since 1995 (OSAP). 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: 26 August 2019

• ME043-042 Church
  Description

  Located on a slight rise in a level landscape. A church at Kilmore is listed in the ecclesiastical taxation (1302-06) of Pope Nicholas IV (Cal. doc. Ire., 5, 255). Ussher (1622) describes the church and chancel as reasonably well repaired (Erlington 1847-64, 1, lxxiv). According to Dopping (1682-5) the church of the Blessed Virgin Mary and its chancel were under repair and the graveyard was enclosed. The church had been re-consecrated in 1686 but it was damaged by the Irish in 1689, according to the Royal visitation (1693) (Ellison 1972. 4). Lewis (1837, 2, 185) describes the church as a ‘small ancient structure’, but it had been abandoned by the end of the century (Moore 1975, 38) when the slate Duncan/Echlin slab, dated 1746, was moved to St. Seachnall’s Church of Ireland church in Dunshaughlin. The roofless ruin of a single cell structure (ext. dims 12.3m WNW-ESE; 7.15m NNE-SSW; int. dims 10.75m WNW-ESE; 5.65m NNE-SSW) survives complete with ivy-covered walls (Wth 0.74-0.79m; H 4-4.4m) that have two rectangular windows (Wth 1.2m; H 1.95m) in both the N and S walls and a larger, pointed window (Wth 1.55m; H 3m) in the E wall. The belfry over the W gable probably has a single opening, and the quoin stones are hammer-dressed. The W doorway (Wth of top 0.95m; Wth of base1.02m; H 2.07m) has battered sides, an elliptical head and an external hollow chamfer that is probably made from stones of the medieval church, many of which are re-used as grave-markers in the graveyard, including ones from a pointed doorway. The church could be that of the 1680s, but a porch (ext. dims 4.1m NNE-SSW; 3.5m WNW-ESE) with a destroyed doorway at W was added to the W gable. Apart from the doorway, all the dressed stone from the present structure has been removed, but two pieces of elaborately moulded architrave, probably from the E window, are set upright (H 1.24m; 1.27m) in the graveyard. A window-sill from the medieval church (Wth of window 0.38m) is also in the subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 65m WNE-ESE; c. 35-50m NNE-SSW) defined by earthen banks and trees. Headstones dating from 1734 to 1960 have been recorded (ibid. 39-45), but burial continues to the present. A section of road (L c. 65m), evident as a berm (Wth 7.5m) defined by the scarp of the graveyard (H 1m) at S and a ditch (Wth of top 5m; D at S 0.4m) and outer bank (Wth 3m; H at S 1; H at N 0.5m) at N survives just N of the graveyard, where the original Dunboyne to Summerhill road ran (ibid. 38). The road extended further E (L c. 75m) on the 1836 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. The field system (ME043-041----) is just to the N. The graveslab (L 1.73m; Wth 0.46-0.66m; T 0.1m), which has a raised Crucifixion (Harbison 2000, 55) and an inscription in false relief commemorating Rory Buí McMahon in Latin and Irish, is displayed just S of the church. It was found in the graveyard and has the date 1575 (FitzGerald 1907-09; Hunt 1974, 210). The head of a cross (H 0.5m; span 0.43m; T 0.2m), now outside the Roman Catholic church at Moynalvy (ME043-028001-), c. 2.5km to the NW, is from this graveyard. It was discovered in 1837, was subsequently buried, and rediscovered c. 1966 (Moore 1975, 38-9). It has a Crucifixion in false relief on one face and symbol of the Passion on the other (King 1984, 108). A slab (dims c. 0.5m x c. 0.2-0.35m; T 0.1m) with a deeply incised cross (H c. 0.2m; span c. 0.2m) that has expanding terminals (Wth of lines c. 2cm) was found c. 1970 (Moore 1975, 43, No. 23), but it is not now visible in the graveyard. 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. Date of revision: 24 March, 2015

• ME043-042001 Graveyard
  Description

  Located on a slight rise in a level landscape. The parish church of Kilmore (ME043-042----) is within a subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 65m WNE-ESE; c. 35-50m NNE-SSW) defined by earthen banks and trees. Headstones dating from 1734 to 1960 have been recorded (Moore 1975, 39-45), but burial continues to the present. The 16th century graveslab (ME043-042002-) is displayed just S of the church, and the churchyard cross (ME0432-042003-) from here is now displayed outside the Roman Catholic church at Moynalvy (ME043-028001-), c. 2.5km to the NW. A section of roadway (ME043-042004-) survives just to the N with the field system (ME043-041----) to the N of it. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 March, 2015

• ME043-042002 Graveslab
  Description

  Within the graveyard at Kilmore parish church (ME043-042----). The graveslab (L 1.73m; Wth 0.46-0.66m; T 0.1m), which has a raised Crucifixion (Harbison 2000, 55) and an inscription in false relief commemorating Rory Buí McMahon in Latin and Irish, is displayed just S of the church. It was found in the graveyard and has the the date 1575 (FitzGerald 1907-09; Hunt 1974, 210). It is described by FitzGerlad as: This is a slab which, in my opinion, is unique; it is dated 1575; down the centre is the outline of a plain cross bearing a small figure of our Lord crucified at the upper end; the date in Arabic numerals, 1575, is carved under the left arm of the cross; an inscription in several lines covers the remainder of the slab; on the left side and lower end of the slab it is in Latin, and the rest is in Irish. The whole inscription is in relief, the Latin portion in broad capitals and the Irish portion in neatly cut Celtic letters with rounded limbs; it is in a very fair state of preservation, though covered with lichen. The Latin inscription reads: NEMINEM CONSTRISTARI MORTE D / EBERE CVM SIT IN VIVENDO LABOR / ET PERICVLUM IN MORIENDO PAX ET / RESVRGENDI SECVRITAS. ORTATE PRO ANIMA RVGER (I) MAC M / AHVNA QVI ME FE. Translation: No one ought to be grieved at death, since in living there is labour and danger, while in dying there is peace and the assurance of resurrection. Pray for the soul of Rory MacMahon who made me. The Irish inscription fortunately is legible; it has been deciphered and translated through the combined efforts of Father Patrick S. Dineen, and Mr. M. J. M’Enery, of the Dublin Record Office, to both of whom I return my best thanks for the time and trouble they took in adding this valuable information to the Journal. The inscription: As bhragh de o gach duinne leighfear so & [tuigfear] / o m guma girraide pianta purgadora & go / mo luathide trocaire in tighiarna guibhe na ge / ristaidhe paidear dheirce do ghabhail ar an anam do sgr / ibh & dar sgribhadh / adhon / Rughraidhe buid / he mhag mahthglamhna. Translation: God expects from everyone who reads this, and understands that the pains of purgatory are the shorter and the mercy of God the more speedy for the prayers of Christians, to offer a prayer of charity for the Soul of him who wrote this, and for whom it is was written, namely Rory Buí Mac Mahon. Of Rory Buí (or the tallow-haired) MacMahon nothing is now known; he was not a native of this southern part of the county Meath, as the territory of the MacMahons lay in the district of Farney in the County Monaghan.

The head of a cross (H 0.5m; span 0.43m; T 0.2m), now outside the Roman Catholic church at Moynalvy (ME043 028001 ), c. 2.5km to the NW, is from here. It was discovered in 1837, was subsequently buried, and was rediscovered c. 1966 (Moore 1975, 38-9).

  Description

  Located on a level landscape just N of the graveyard of Kilmore parish church (ME043-042----). A section of road (L c. 65m), evident as a berm (Wth 7.5m) defined by the scarp of the graveyard (H 1m) at S and a ditch (Wth of top 5m; D at S 0.4m) and outer bank (Wth 3m; H at S 1; H at N 0.5m) at N survives where the original Dunboyne to Summerhill road ran (Moore 1975, 38).
