- ME027-003001 Church
Description
Situated on a slight E-facing slope and at the NE extremity of the large parish of Duleek. Plattin was a possession of the Benedictine priory of Lanthony in England, and at the Suppression in 1540 it was being leased to Sir William Darcy for six pounds, ten shillings (White 1943, 314). Darcy also had land leased for twenty shillings at Callistown (Calliaghstown?) and in Kilsharvan parish. According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) Nicholas Darcy of Platten held 608 acres at Platten and Callestowne, and another 190 acres at Carranstowne in Duleek parish. While a castle (ME027-003002-) and outhouses at Platten are mentioned there is no reference to a church (Simington 1940, 17). Nor is a church recorded on the Down Survey (1656-8) barony map of Duleek. The church dates from the 16th century and probably served as an estate or private chapel. Therefore it might not come under the purview of the diocese of Meath, and it is not recorded in the visitations of Ussher (1622) (Erlington 1847-64, 1, lxi-lxviii) or Dopping (1682-5) (Ellision 1971, 33-7) as a church of Duleek deanery. There is no evidence of an enclosure or of burial associated with it, but the probable site of the castle is where Platin Hall was built c. 1700, which is c. 30m to the NW. The church is an undivided nave and chancel structure (int. dims 11.3m E-W; 5.2m N-S) that survives complete with opposing round-headed doorways (Wth 0.94m) in flat-headed embrasures towards the W end of the N and S walls, and with a stoup only inside the S doorway. The window lights are all round-headed, but those on the N wall are in re-used Dundry stone. There are two steps up to the altar at the E end, with beam-holes in the N and S walls above the steps, suggesting the former presence of a rood screen. There is a double-light window with a damaged belfry above it in in the W wall, but the belfry may have had only a single opening. There is a triple-light window in the E wall. The S wall has three double-light windows, one being W of the doorway while the N wall has two single-light windows. The fragment of a cross (dims 0.28m x 0.17m; H 0.79m) dated c. 1480-1500 with foliage and figure sculpture of a crucifixion and a Madonna over an angel in a niche is cemented into its base in the embrasure of the E window (King 1984, 101). Also in the church is a disc-headed cross (diam. 0.33m; T 0.12m) with a raised ring, which has a cross on each face formed by raised arcs springing from the ring. One face has the raised letters VM and IM on the cross, which probably dates to the late 17th century. 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: 22 December, 2014
- ME027-003002 Castle - unclassified
Description
A castle is depicted at Platen on the Down Survey (1656-8) barony map of Duleek (http://downsurvey.tcd.ie/). According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) Nicholas Darcy of Platen owned over 600 acres at Platen and Callestown, including ‘a castle and some outhouses and cabins’ (Simington 1940, 17). The castle had been replaced by c. 1700 by brick house of three storeys and nine-bay front, possibly designed by Sir William Robinson (Bence-Jones 1978, 232). The house is now knocked but is said to have been on the site of the old D'Arcy castle (D'Alton 1844, 462-3). The chapel (ME027-003001-) is c. 30m to the SE. 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: 9 June 2016
- ME027-003003 Cross
Description
From King (1984, 101): This cross is cemented into the E window of the ruined late medieval church (ME027-003001-) at Platin Hall since 1844. Material: Limestone. Dims base: H 0.26m; 0.6m x 0.5m. shaft: 0.28m x0.17m; H 0.79m. This shaft, rectangular in section, decorated I relief, is set into a damaged chamfered rectangular base. Each side has figure sculpture combined with foliage designs. No inscriptions. W: A crucifixion unmder an nterlace of vine leaves and bunches of grapes. E: There are tow depiction sunder an arch formed by an interlace of vine-leaves and bunches of grapes. The upper one is the Virgin and Child. She is crowned and holds a circular object, perhaps and apple or globe, in her right hand and the Christ-child on her left arm. The child’s left foot is almost resting on the head of a demi-angel who holds a large heater-shaped shield. N: An angel in a cusped ogee-headed panel which is crocketed and finialed. He is standing on a raised moulding, dressed in a V-nicked pleated tunic trimmed with fur and holds a large heater-shaped shield. His large wings reach to his ankles. The f face is badly damaged. S: Another angel, different in appearance to the one on the north face but set in a similar architectural panel. He is wearing a long tunic which falls in folds at his feet and has long hair. He also holds a shield and has large wings. Apart from damage to both shaft and base, this cross may be complete as there is a definite chamfer to the upper edges of the shaft and the design itself seems to follow the chamfer. A date c. 1480-1500 is suggested. Date of upload: 16 July, 2014
- ME027-003004 Cross
Description
Also in the church (ME027-003001-) is a disc-headed cross (diam. 0.33m; T 0.12m) with a raised ring, which has a cross on each face formed by four raised arcs springing from the ring. One face has the raised letters VM and IM on the cross, which probably dates to the late 17th century. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 16 July, 2014
