• ME049A001 House - 16th/17th century
  Description

  Situated at the W edge of a small N-S valley, with the stream c. 30m to the E, and the site of the parish church of Moyglare (ME049A002----) is c. 150m to the S. According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) Sir George Wentworth, a Protestant, owned 487 acres at Moyglare in 1640, and on the property were ‘a large stone house, a Mill, a pigeon house and two farme houses’ (Simington 1940, 153). He also owned almost 1100 acres elsewhere in the parish, amounting to almost all of it (ibid. 153-6). Fragments of the NW (L 6.65m plus; T 1.05m) and SE (L 4m plus; T 1m) walls placed 3.5m apart survive to the first floor, but there is no indication of vaulting. The remnants of the NE wall have traces of a base-batter and there is a fireplace in the NW wall at the first floor, which is recessed to support the floor, but at the second floor the joists were set into the wall. Just N of the masonry remains is a raised platform (dims of top 9m E-W; 8m N-S; max. H 1m at N), and a scarp (L 26m; H up to 1.5m) extends S from the masonry remains with some stone exposed. 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: 13 July 2016

• ME049A002 Church
  Description

  Located on a level landscape with the W-E Rye Water, which forms the boundary with Co. Kildare, c. 200m to the S. A church at Mynclare (Moyglare) is listed in the ecclesiastical taxation (1302-06) of Pope Nicholas IV (Cal. doc. Ire., 5, 255). Ussher (1622) describes the church as in good repair but the chancel as ruined (Erlington 1847-64, 1, lxxvi). According to the Dopping (1682-5) and Royal (1693) visitations the parish church of Moyglare had been repaired, but the chancel was in ruins since 1641. The church was roofed with slates, the floor was clay and there was glass in the windows. In addition the graveyard was described as ‘well fenced’ (Ellison 1972, 4). This church continued in use until c. 1870 when St. Paul’s church, a four bay Church of Ireland church with an attached spire, was built. This is now a private dwelling within a subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 65m E-W; c. 40-60m N-S) defined by masonry walls. There is no evidence of the medieval structure. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987).
