- ME011-024 Castle - ringwork
Description
Located on a low rise in an undulating landscape, with Staholmog parish church (ME011-025----) c. 250m to the E. This is a raised and circular but slightly dished grass-covered area (diam. 48m N-S; 44m E-W) defined by an earthen bank S-SW and NW-NNE (Wth of base 10m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 0.9m) but largely by a scarp (at N: Wth 4m; H 1.5m; at S: Wth 4m; H 3m) with trees and bushes. There is no visible fosse but the ramp entrance (Wth of base 2.3m) is at SE. Modern structures impinge on the base of the scarp SE-SW and a field bank is built at its base SW-NNE, from where a straight NNW-SSE road bank truncates the scarp slightly NNE-E. 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 April 2019
- ME011-025 Church
Description
Situated on a slight SW-facing slope. A church is listed at Stamullin alias Stamoling in the ecclesiastical taxation (1302-06) of Pope Nicholas IV (Cal. doc. Ire. 5, 260). Ussher (1622) describes the church and chancel at Slahalnucke as ruined (Erlington 1847-64, 1, lxxxix). According to Dopping’s Visitation (1682-3) the medieval parish church of St. Michael at Staholmog was in ruins since 1641 and it was not enclosed (Ellison 1973, 8). The church survives almost complete as an ivy covered nave (int. dims 8.4m E-W; c. 5.2m N-S) and chancel (int. dims 7.7m E-W; 5.1m N-S) structure, although few original features are evident and the N wall of the nave is absent. The E window is robbed and there are two robbed windows in the S wall of the chancel, which is separated from the nave by a complete chancel arch (Wth 2m; H 2.7m), but it is likely that the arch wall is inserted. A pointed doorway (Wth 0.98m; H 2.05m) towards the E end of the S wall is the only recognisable feature of the nave. It was probably inserted in order to access a mortuary enclosure defined by wrought iron railings just S of the church. The church is in a sub-triangular or D-shaped graveyard (dims c. 48m NW-SE; c. 38m NE-SW) defined by masonry walls with the apex at SE where the original entrance is. The graveyard has been extended to the NW (L c. 100m) and the orans stone from the old graveyard is now set into to the NE wall of the new graveyard. The stone (Wth 0.67m; H 0.62m) has a carving in relief of a man with arms raised in a praying pose, but the head is damaged (Roe 1970, 213; Ní Shúilliobháin 1970). King (1987, 302) believes that this stone and other decorated fragments in the graveyard could have been part of a chest tomb. The possible ringwork (ME011-024----) is c. 250m to the W. 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: 11 December, 2014
- ME011-025001 Stone sculpture (present location)
Description
From King (1987, 302) Tomb-chest? c. 1690. Four fragments of a table tomb lie scattered around the older part of staholmock graveyard and a fifth is mounted on the north wall of the modern cemetery. This latter shows a male figure, naked except for a loin cloth, in the ‘orans’ position (Roe 1970, 213; Ní Shúilliobháin 1970, 222). Three other pieces are the remains of a panel with an elaborated achievement of arms, (Fleming impaling ?Cross or Chetwode), and the remaining piece is a support for a table tomb. The two decorated pieces probably formed the end panels of the tomb. Dimensions: H 0.62m; Wth 0.66m. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload; 22 May, 2014 Amended: 7 August, 2014
