• ME032-022 Church
  Description

  Situated on a small hill at the base of the NW-facing slope of Skreen Hill. This area was part of the large parish of Skreen that Adam de Feipo, Baron of Skreen, endowed his brother Thomas with c. 1175 and which passed into the possession of the Cistercian abbey of St Mary’s in Dublin (DU018-020048-) when Thomas joined them c. 1186 (Hickey 1952). A church at Lismullin is not mentioned in the lists, and it probably only emerged from Templekeeran parish after the dissolution in 1539-40 of the nunnery of Lismullin (ME032-024----), c. 800m to the SW, and after the Ussher visitation in 1622 (Otway-Rutven 1964, 119), but it was recognised as a parish during the Civil Survey (1654-6) (Simington 1940, 58). The rectory, or post of parish priest, of Tempulkeran is amongst St Mary’s possessions in 1540 (White 1943, 19). Ussher (1622) describes Templekerran as ruined and a chapel-of-ease to Skryne (ME032-047003-), and Dopping (1682-5) says that the chapel was down and the graveyard was not enclosed (Ellison 1972, 8). Lewis (1837, 2, 285-6) reports that Templekeeran parish is assessed with Lismullin and both had been united with Skreen since 1677 (ibid. 559). The Church of Ireland church at this site was built in 1809-11 as the parish church of the Skreen union (ibid. 559, 605). The church had been abandoned by 1911 as a new church of St Columba had been built at the roadside c. 350m to the S (OS 25-inch map), which is now also abandoned and reduced to the tower. Cogan (1862-70, 1, 276) says that the church was dedicated to St Kieran. This could be St Caomhán Breac of Clonabraney (ME015-056001-) near Loughcrew, although there is no known connection. At this site, which is still known locally as Templekeeran, the foundations (Wth 0.5-0.75m; H 0.6m) of the 19th century church (int. dims 11m plus E-W; 6.75m N-S) survive, apart from the E wall, within a subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 30-45m NE-SW; c. 40-45m N-S) defined by a stone-faced earthen bank at S and scarps with hedges on the other sides. It has headstones dating from 1733 and a stone mortar is displayed in the graveyard. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987).

• ME032-024 Religious house - Augustinian nuns
  Description

  Augustinian nuns had a convent of the Holy Trinity at Lismullin (Hadcock 1964, 130). It was a joint foundation c. 1240 of a brother and sister, Richard and Avice de la Corner (Hall 2003, 60). The foundation of Lismullin may have been part of Bishop Richard’s ambition to tighten episcopal control over the spiritualities of his diocese and it became one of the most successful of the nunneries in the medieval colony of Ireland (ibid. 86-7). The site of Lismullin itself was probably already church property before the arrival of the Anglo Normans, as land that could have been at Lismullin was included in possessions confirmed to the nunnery of Clonard (ME047-021----) in 1195 (Brady 1960, 5). There are frequent notices of the enclosed state of the nuns at Lismullin (Kelly 1961, 54-5) and it may have been a double monastery up to c. 1300 where canons are recorded as conducting the temporal business of the convent, but thereafter attorneys were increasingly employed (Hall 1999, 60-2). In 1260 the nuns were described as being enclosed since their foundation (Hall 2003, 160). In 1427 the Archbishop of Armagh, while on visitation at the convent, ordered the nuns to observe the rules of enclosure, and the gates and other places in the convent were ordered shut (ibid. 161). A complex legal case involving ownership of land at Dunsink, Co. Dublin, where their opponents were the Benedictine house of Little Marvern in England and their priory at Castleknock (DU017-008001-), continued from at least 1297 into the early 15th century when Lismullin secured a new and more secure title to the property (Hall 1999, 61-2). The complement at Lismullin was listed as the prioress with 13 nuns and a total household of 40 around the time of the plague (1349), but it was reduced to the prioress with seven nuns and a total household of 32 in 1367. The nuns were drawn mainly from the local Meath community and the names Cusack, Barnwell, Eustace, and Birmingham feature prominently amongst those of the prioresses (ibid. 67-8). (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 322) At the dissolution in 1539-40 Margaret Cusack, who had represented the abbess of Odder (ME032-078----) in 1535, was prioress of Lismullin and facilitated its surrender to the Commissioners, who included her brother, Sir Thomas Cusack, later Lord Chancellor of Ireland. He leased from the Crown the nuns’ estate, which was quite extensive (Cogan 1862-70, 1, 386-7). The convent was described as having a church, cloister, dormitory and other buildings as well as 167 acres in demesne at Lismullin. Six closes (small fields) of pasture amounting to 6 acres were called le hyghe parke, le lowe parke, le horse parke, the mote parke, le kyll parke and le woode parke, and were probably close to the church precinct. Sixty acres and a water mill that is well-documented (Kelly 1961, 49-61) were held at Harestown Barrett (Blundelstown), which is just to the W of Lismullin. The manor of Lismullin had four free tenants who held 100 acres in Blundelston, 40 in Loughton and 80 in Balgyth (both now the S part of Monktown townland), and there were 14 cottiers. There were also the unidentified villages of Betaghton (Batterstown? or morel likely Baytown 184 acres) and Cloaghan (120 acres). The manor of Belgrecourt (Belgree) in Kilbride parish, Dunboyne barony, had 134 acres, Powderlough (80 acres), Ballintry (30 acres), Ballymacarney (100 acres) and Irishtown (38 acres). There were other possessions in Westmeath, Louth, Dublin and Kildare. (Cogan 1862-70, 1, 286-7; White 1943, 255-8) The site of the convent is located in a gently undulating landscape towards the bottom of the gentle N-facing slope of Tara Hill, with a small S-N stream just to the E. Indistinct earthworks were identified on site including a buried cobbled surface (L c. 8m) with the base of a wall at its S end and animal bones, which were visible in a section on the E side of the stream. Extensive earthworks were recently identified on LIDaR coverage (pers. comm. Dr Steve Davis, UCD). A church with a chancel can be identified tentatively, with ranges of buildings to its S on the E, S and W sides of what could be a cloister. Outside this are rectangular paddocks (dims c. 60m x c. 60m), which could be the closes described in the extents and which cover in total c. 16 acres (c. 6.5 ha). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987). In this instance the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by : Michael Moore Date of revision: 27 January, 2015

• ME032-049 Souterrain
  Description

  Situated towards the top a slight E-facing slope. A souterrain passage came to light through ploughing in the spring of 1989.

H 1.7m) beehive chamber that was capped by two stones, one of which was dislodged by the ploughing (Clinton 1996, 31-2).

• ME032-074 Enclosure
  Description

  The 1836 edition of the OS 6-inch map depicts a semi-circular embankment (int. dim. c. 70m NW-SE; ext. dim. c. 130m NW-SE) surviving SE-W-NW, on the W side of a NNW-SSE road. St Columba's Church of Ireland church and graveyard were constructed within the embankment in the late 19th century, but the church is now abandoned and only the tower survives. There is evidence of three headstones within the southern portion of the enclosure, and one burial (ME032-070----) on top of the embankment at W was uncovered in 1967. These burials are probably relatively modern internments and associated with the use of the church, but the enclosure is defined by a pre-existing and substantial but overgrown earthen bank (Wth c. 5-10m; H c. 1-2m).
