- ME025-044 Historic town
Description
Situated on a broad hill in the angle between a W-E section of the Cavan River Blackwater at N and a SE-NW course of the River Boyne at E. At the confluence the Boyne turns E and then NE. Hugh de Lacy had granted the barony of Navan to Jocelyn de Angelo by 1175 and the motte and bailey castle (ME025-023001-) might have been built shortly afterwards as the caput or centre of the fief, perhaps on an ancient burial mound. Such a crucial confluence of two important waterways soon became the focus of a town, and it is possible that the Augustinian abbey of St. Mary’s (ME025-024----) had been established, perhaps on an older church site, before the Anglo-Norman settlement. This was known as Nuachongbhail – New settlement - which was reputedly the site of a church founded by St. Fechin of Fore (WM04-035003-), but the occurrences of the name are later interpolations. The area was originally known as Odhbha with references from 612 (AU) when a battle was fought amongst the Aed Sláine branch of Uí Néill. The mythological Odhbha was a daughter of Milesius, leader of the last of the five mythological invasions of Ireland, and the name would have been applied to her burial mound which could be incorporated in the motte. The Dindshenchas, a ninth to twelfth century collection of lore about places, describes Odhbha as a grave on a ridge, and the name would be applied to the territory. Odhbha is easily corrupted into Novan or Nouan, applied first to the Augustinian abbey (ME025-024----) in its charters after 1170. In Gaelic Odhbha is equally corruptible into Uaimh – cave or grave – an apt description for the original mound and the name used in the few annalistic references. (Ó Murchadha 1992-3) The development of the town is not fully elucidated but its corporate status is first acknowledged in 1462 (Brooks 1933, 223). The town was plundered by O’Neill and O’Donnell in 1539, and in 1543 Parliament imposed a charge on every ploughland in Meath in order to fund the construction of walls for Navan. Although murage at Navan had been collected since the fifteenth century at least, the walling might never have been completed and in 1593 Navan was listed as a market rather than a walled town (Bradley and King 1985, 94-5, 98). The brief description of the town in the Civil Survey (1654-6) mentions Feshings Gate and Sweynes Bridge as well as houses on the north side of Canonrow St outside West Gate as well as houses outside the Dublin Gate (Simington 1940, 222-3). Two castles and four houses, by which stone houses are meant, are specified. The Down Survey (1656-8) barony map depicts the town as an enclosed rectangular area backing onto the River Boyne at NE, with the abbey outside the walls at N and a bridge crossing the Blackwater below it. There was no bridge across the Boyne until c. 1750, but the river may have had a ford as the name Athlumney - Áth Luimnigh – ford of the bare place?, or of the herds (Boylan 1988, 52), for the land on the other side indicates. The medieval town had three streets meeting at the triangular Market Square, with numerous alleys off the principal thoroughfares. From the property boundaries depicted in the 1836 edition of the OS 6-inch map the small extent of the walled town (c. 7 ha) can be outlined and a section of wall (ME025-044003-) survives behind the houses on the S side of Abbey Road while other evidence of it has been found in excavation. Excavations within the town show that there was a high knoll of gravel around the N angle of the town and this area is described as ‘Sandymount’ on the OS 25-inch map of 1908. In other parts of the walled area excavations generally record medieval deposits beneath a deep overburden of post-medieval construction and dumping. Outside the walls medieval properties are being recorded in excavation on the NE side of Canon Row St. in line with the Civil Survey evidence.

- ME025-044002 Cross - Market cross
Description
The triangular marketplace was where the three principal streets met, and the market is referred to in charters of 1605 and 1679. A fragment of a cross, dated to the late 16th century, originally perhaps from the Market Square and now in the National Museum of Ireland, is described by King (1984, 109) as: Navan 1 National Museum of Ireland No. X1639. This cross has been in the collection of the Royal Irish Academy since 1849 but its original position was probably in the Market Square in Navan. Two other fragments existed in 1862 (Cogan 1862, 1, 229-30). Material: dark grey limestone from Colp. Dims shaft: H 0.45m; 0.22m x 0.21m: tenon: H 0.12m; 0.15m x 0.14m at base; 0.13m x 0.13m at top. A shaft fragment almost square in section decorated in false relief. It has a tenon on top and a small hole in the base. An inscription in Roman lettering on three faces in relief and incision. 1st: A shield with Nangle (quarterly, first and third grandquarter counter quartered, azure three fusils conjoined in fess or) and Dowdall arms impaling Herbert (per pale azure and gules three lions rampant argent a border gobony of the last and sable and a cinquefoil in chief pierced of the second). 2nd: Inscription only; the first two letter are shaped like an hour-glass and wreath. 3rd: A female figure dressed in Elizabethan fashion. 4th: A figure in a loin cloth lying sideways holding an hour-glass, three circular objects, possibly intended as skulls, and a winged head. The inscription is as follows: NANGL / AND HAR / BART /…/PESOT / I O /SVLINVS/ DEANGVLO/ THE FIRST / BARRON OF / THE NOVAN F(…) IS / (…) GIVEN / HIM BY SIR/ HUGHE/DE LACIE/ PHIL/ I PPVS.N/AIQVANDO/BARO DE/NOVAN FO/RVM AC /NVNDINA/. The coat of arms is that of Martin Nangle who died in 1585. The occurrence of a lady in Elizabethan costume confirms a date of c. 1585. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987).

- ME025-044003 Town defences
Description
Although murage at Navan had been collected since 1470 at least (Moore 1893, 59), the walling might never have been completed. After Navan had been plundered by O’Neill and O’Donnell in 1539, the Irish Parliament imposed a charge on every ploughland in Meath in 1543 in order to fund the construction of walls for Navan. The funding drive might not have been completely successful as in 1593 Navan was listed as a market town rather than a walled town (Bradley and King 1985, 94-5, 98). The walls were completed however and were maintained into the eighteenth century. In 1746 an order was made to repair breaches in the town walls which were allowing goods into the weekly markets free of tolls, but by the end of the century widening of the streets removed the town gates at Dublin Gate in 1786, Watergate in 1788 and Trimgate in 1796 (Ellison 1963, 42-6). From the property boundaries depicted on the 1836 edition of the OS 6-inch map the line taken by the town wall can be identified. It describes a rough rectangle backing onto the River Boyne at E. From the SE corner it extended W from the river behind the houses on the N side of Church Hill, turning N to join Trimgate St. c. 50m from its junction with Railway St. From there it continued N towards Abbey Rd through the re-developed shopping area, but turned E while still S of that road, crossed the junction with Watergate St and continued down to the Boyne. A section of the town wall (L 15m; T 0.8m; H c. 5m) with a section of a semi-circular bastion at its W end survives behind the houses on the S side of Abbey Road. The upper part of the wall and tower are probably reconstructed where they are not bonded, although they are bonded at the bottom. Other fragments could survive in the curving N property boundary of St. Mary’s Roman Catholic church. Archaeological testing (E002336) by S. Halliday of a broadband trench through the streets during 2006-7 identified (excavations.ie 2008:973) two N-S walls at the base of Timmon’s Lane, which run parallel with the River Boyne. One wall (Wth 2.4m plus; H 5m plus) consisted of large limestone blocks (max. dims 0.85m x 0.6m; T 0.5m) bonded with mortar. Other evidence of the town wall was recorded (E002905) by E. Corcoran (2007) at Kennedy Road (excavations.ie 2007:1352). The top of a wide ditch (Wth 6.5-6.65m) filled with greyish brown silty clays that had stones and redeposited natural appeared in three trenches on the line of the town wall as well as pits and other features cut into the natural which was close to the surface in one trench. The ditch could either be a defensive ditch or a robber trench to retrieve stones from the wall.

- ME025-044009 Font (present location)
Description
The limestone font described by Dopping (1693) as being in St Mary’s abbey (ME025-024----) (Reynell 1888-91, 463) is now in St Mary’s Church of Ireland church in Navan. The font is octagonal (dims 0.6m x 0.6m; H 0.37m) with a circular basin (int. diam. 0.5m; D 0.18m) and shallow chamfered under-panels. The octagonal stem appears to be modern but the octagonal base (dims 0.6m x 0.6m; H 0.25m) is original (total H 1.13m). The font has two shields in relief, one with a cross that has the inscription IN HOC SIGNO VINCES 1716 crudely incised in a secondary fashion. The other has the Butler arms, and Roe (1968, 89-91) associates it with James, the 4th Earl of Ormonde, who joined a confraternity at St Mary’s in 1436. The cross (ME025-044010-) is in the graveyard.

- ME025-044010 Cross - Churchyard cross
Description
A fragment of a late medieval cross shaft with figure sculpture in false relief on two faces (Moore 1893, 62). is in the graveyard of St Mary's Church of Ireland church. The font (ME025-044009-) is within the church. It is described by King (1984, 112) as: Navan II Material: fossiliferous limestone. Dims Shaft: H 0.6m; 0.34m x 0.2m. This possible shaft fragment, rectangular in section, is decorated in relief. It is cemented into a base which is buried in the ground and is not in good condition. There is a figure sculpture on two faces in false relief and there are three mouldings in high relief on the other two sides. No inscription. W: A bearded ecclesiastic wearing an alb, dalmatic and chasuble. He appears to be giving a blessing with his right hand. E: A female figure, possibly St Catherine, crowned and holding a sword in the right hand, set in a panel with the remains of shafting on the right. The figure wears a long pleated robe and has long hair or a veil under a crown.

- ME025-044013 Well
Description
Just inside the line of the town wall of Navan at S. Archaeological monitoring (00E0354) by M. E. Byrne of foundation works at 13 Ludlow St recorded a well (excavations.ie 2000:767). The well was circular (dims. 0.8-0.9m; D 8.9m plus) and stone-lined with some brick in the upper part of the void. There was no evidence of the town all or any medieval deposits, as levels on the site had been reduced by up to 1.3m, probably in the eighteenth century. The well is thought to be post-medieval and is preserved under the new building. (Byrne 2013) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 29 March 2023 Byrne, M. E. 2000 13 Ludlow Street, Navan, Co.

- ME025-044014 Excavation - miscellaneous
Description
Located just inside the NW angle of the Navan town wall with a surviving portion of that wall forming part of the boundary at N, the ground being level and flush with its top inside but c. 4m lower outside the surviving wall. Archaeological testing (00E0767) by Donald Murphy recorded the natural gravel and sand close beneath the surface inside the wall, except where it was disturbed by eighteenth and nineteenth century walls or quarries (excavations.ie 2000:764). No buried section of the town wall was identified but some ditches or cuts were on its line. One large cut (Wth 9m; D 2m) inside the wall, filled with brown clay and rubble, red bricks and modern pottery is probably a post-medieval quarry. Two similar features (Wth 3m; 2m) further W, filled with a mix of brown clay and gravel with some animal bone but no artefacts could be robber trenches on the line of the wall running S. A trench across the line of the town wall at N recorded a straight-sided cut (Wth 1.9m; D 2.1m) filed with sandy brown clay which can only be interpreted as a robber-trench for material from the town wall, although no dating material was recovered. A trench against the S side of the surviving town wall uncovered the cut (Wth of top 1.4m; Wth of base 0.8m; D 3m) for its construction but the W end of the bastion did not return S into the site so that it is only a cladding. At the E end of the site the foundations of an eighteenth or nineteenth century structure with cobbled surfaces was encountered over the natural gravel. (Murphy 2000) Further work (02E1456) by I. Russell uncovered two further sections of the ditches at the W edge of the site where the wall was thought to turn S (excavations.ie 2002:1497). The W feature (max. Wth 2.2m; D 1.4m) was filled with silts and gravels. About 4m to the E was a roughly parallel N-S ditch (Wth 2.7m; D 1m) filled with silts and loam from which late medieval pottery and some animal bone was recovered. It is possible that an earthen bank between them, of which there was no trace, could have functioned as the town wall.

- ME025-044020 Architectural fragment
Description
Some dressed stones that were kept for a period at St Patrick’s Classical School (ME025-023002-) are now in a rockery at St Mary's Roman Catholic church in Navan where they are attributed to St Mary's Abbey (ME025-024----). The limestone spandrel (dims 0.57m x 0.36m; T 0.2m) of a double ogee-headed window is decorated with three triskels in relief on one side and star shapes in relief on the other. A triangular piece of limestone (dims 0.64m x 0.37m; T 0.21m) with a raised circle divided into six may be the apex of a wall monument. Some smaller stones carry fragments of an inscription. One (H 0.51m; Wth 0.42m; T 0.09m) is a spandrel from a doorway with a wheel of eight divisions and three lobed designs within a circle. Another (H 0.37m; Wth 0.56m; T 0.2m) is a cusped ogee-headed spandrel from a twin-light window with decoration in false relief on both faces. One face has encircled cusped triskelia and the other has triangular spandrels with eight-petal flowers. A rectangular fragment has a boxed ogee-headed design.

- ME025-044023 Market-house
Description
The tholsel or market house was on Dublingate St, now called Ludlow St, at the junction with Market Square. It was described by Isaac Butler (1893) writing c. 1744 as a ‘low mean building’ that was demolished c. 1800. It had a vaulted cellar and was the centre of the butchery trade in eighteenth century Navan. The Court House was built on the site c. 1795-1805 but high up on its S wall is a stone commemorating the older building (Ellison 1963, 46-7). The inscription in false relief and gothic lettering reads: Edmund Manninge / was overseer / of this work in the / year of Our Lord /1632 on whose / soul the Lord / have mercy.

Description
Archaeological centre-line testing (04E583) by A. O’Connell (2005) at Testing Area 10 of Contract 3 in advance of the M3 motorway identified a burnt spread (excavations.ie 2004:1346) that was resolved (E003114) within the road-take by K. Martin (2009) as a part of Townparks 2 in February 2006 (excavations.ie 2006:1645) where two fulachta fia, c. 70m apart were recorded. This large spread (dims 12.5m E-W; 5m plus N-S; T 0.17m) extends outside the road-take to the NW and overlay two further concentrations of burnt mound material but at the bottom these layers overlay a large rectangular pit (dims 1.79m 0.92m; D0.15m) that was just S of a cluster of 19 stake-holes. The pit was filled with a silty clay that had some charcoal flecks. There were three other pits, the largest (dims 2m x 0.46-0.8m; D 0.2m) of which had irregular sides and evidence of scorching on its base. Its fill had more plentiful charcoal as well as evidence of burnt stone and some of the other pits also had charred bases. The trough was rectangular (dims 1.68m plus N-S; 1.45m E-W; D 0.38m) and extended outside the excavation to the NW. Its burnt stone and silty clay fill provided a C14 date of 2130-1890 Cal. BC (Beta 237330) from hazel charcoal. A badly corroded ring-brooch was recovered from the ploughsoil over the burnt mound.

Description
Archaeological centre-line testing (04E583) by A. O’Connell (2005) at Testing Area 10 of Contract 3 in advance of the M3 motorway identified a burnt spread (excavations.ie 2004:1346) that was fully resolved (E003134) by K. Martin (2009) as a part of Townparks 2 in February 2006 (excavations.ie 2006:1645) when two fulachta fia were recorded. This was a spread of dark brown-grey, silty clay with frequent broken stone and charcoal content (dims 8m N-S; 6.5m E-W; T 0.06-0.11m) that overlay six pits or shallow depressions in the subsoil that were concentrated under the burnt mound. The pits (dims 1m x 1.1m; D0.28m to dims 2.18m x 1.18m; D 0.38m) could have heat-scorched bases but all had some broken and burnt stone in their fills, although none is recognised as a trough. Two C14 dates of 2402-2045 cal. BC (Beta 237332) and 2456-2059 cal. BC (Beta 237331) were returned from samples of hazel charcoal in their fills. There were two clusters of seven and eight stake-holes between the pits, and only two of the smaller pits impinged on others so they are all probably closely contemporary. Three gullies (Wth 0.54m; D 0.24m) extended end to end NW-SE (total L 10.7m) across the area beneath the burnt mound. One gully cut the edge of one of the pits, and they may have provided water for the pits. A sample of fruitstone charcoal from one of the gullies yielded a date of 2343-2041 cal. BC (Beta 237333).
