Recorded monuments

• ME044-029 Castle - motte
  Description

  Situated in a fairly level landscape just W of Rathbeggan House. This is an oval flat-topped mound (dim. of base 25m NW-SE; dims of top 14m N-S; 11m E-W; H 2.6-3.5m) covered in trees, and with traces of a wide fosse (Wth of top 13m; Wth of base 3m; ext. D 0.2m) at ESE. The parish church of Rathbegan (ME044-030----) is c. 100m to the ESE. 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 upload: 10 July 2007 Amended: 22 November 2021

• ME044-030 Church
  Description

  Situated on a level landscape. A church at Rathbeggan is listed in the ecclesiastical taxation (1302-04) of Pope Nicholas IV (Cal. doc. Ire., 5, 254). The Augustinian priory at Colpe was endowed with the tithes at Rathbeggan, and Thomas Stevens was paying 4 pounds for them to the abbey at the Suppression in 1540 (White 1943, 316). Ussher (1622) describes the church and chancel as in good repair (Erlington 1847-64, 1, lxx). According to Dopping's visitation book (1682-5) the church of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Rathbeggan was in ruins since 1641 but the walls of the church and chancel were still standing and the graveyard was enclosed (Ellison 1971, 38). Rathbeggan was part of the living Jonathan Swift obtained when he returned to Ireland in 1701, although it is doubtful if he attended much (Reynolds 1967, 41). The present church was built in 1817 (Lewis 1837, 2, 489), but only the tower remains. The bottom of a rectangular font (ext. dim. 0.63m; H 0.45m) with the shallow remains of a basin (diam. 0.39m; surviving D 5cm) is in the subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 55-65m N-S; c. 25-35m E-W) defined by masonry walls, which has a few 19th century headstones. The font has chamfered corners and under-panels. The motte (ME044-029----) is c. 100m to the WNW. 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: 7 April, 2015

• ME044-030001 Graveyard
  Description

  Situated on a level landscape. The site of the parish church of Rathbeggan (ME044-030----) is within a subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 55-65m N-S; c. 25-35m E-W) defined by masonry walls, which has a few 19th century headstones, one of which was thought to be 'old' (IFC Schools MSS, vol. 687, p.252). According to Dopping's visitation (1682-5) the graveyard was enclosed at that time (Ellison 1971, 38). The font (ME044-030002-) is in the graveyard.
