• ME036-048032 House - medieval
  Description

  Archaeological excavation (E002016) during 2006 in Kiely’s yard which is in the south suburb of Trim outside the town wall and on the E side of Emmet Street recorded two medieval houses. These would have been on the S side of the town fosse (ME036-048042-) and the Luppard Water stream. Only the W walls fronting onto Emmet St. and the E walls of the houses, together with the dividing wall, were recovered. The N house (int. dims 3m N-S plus; 5m E-W) was built against the S (int. dims 7m N-S plus; 6m E-W) house. All the walls (Wth 0.6-1m) were double-faced with a loose rubble-core and a clay and mortar bond, which could have supported upper storeys. The larger house had a stepped entranceway (Wth 1.4m) down to the interior in the W wall and an entrance (Wth 1.1m) opposite it in the E wall. Structural features included in situ posts and timbers, a dividing wall or stair support and two levels of floor surfaces and hearths. The smaller house had only one floor surface with numerous stake-holes close to the walls. The houses were built over a stone-lined cess-pit that had been sealed with rubble and a raft of timbers. The earliest features were a number of quarry-pits that may have been related to the construction of the town wall. Attached to the rear (E) of the houses were two small stone structures (int. dims 1.6m x 1.6m; 1.7m x 0.9m) without doorways that are interpreted as storage lockers in a yard area where 52 pits were recorded with deeper stratigraphy on the N side as the ground sloped down in this direction. The pits included quarry-pits, a stone-lined cistern, a lime-slaking pit, and at least three large cess-pits, one with a wooden toilet-seat. An E-W gully and lines of posts could be a property boundary. Post-medieval features include the walls of an extension to a grain store with associated cobbling and drainage features. The pottery recovered indicates a high medieval date for the houses (AD 1250 to 1400).

  Description

  Situated on a N-facing slope down to a NW-SE section of the River Boyne just above where it runs through the walled part of Trim town. Archaeological testing (99E0041) on the line of an electricity duct trench that runs parallel with and c. 34m from the line of the town wall as it approaches the site of the Watergate identified archaeological deposits dating from the fourteenth to seventeenth centuries sealed beneath 0.5m of fairly modern dumped material, prompting a small excavation. Layers (max. T 0.5m) with medieval material, dumped from the W, overlay a N-S gully (Wth 1.6m; D 0.6m) cut into the subsoil and extended E from it. A second gully (Wth 1.3m; D 0.5m) 16m to the W was covered (D 0.7m) in layers with exclusively eighteenth and nineteenth century material prompting the excavator to suggest that the gully might have been a medieval boundary.

• ME036-048038 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  Located on level ground on the S bank of the River Boyne along the course of Market Street. Archaeological monitoring (96E0175) of a pipe trench identified a cobbled surface of an earlier street 1-1.1m below the then street level. It had an irregular surface and was covered with a red/brown clay (T 0.5-0.7m) with stones that contained some animal bone and post-medieval pottery. At the E end of Market Street the cobbles overlay a deposit (max. D 0.4m) with black organic material and medieval ceramics with lenses of sand, suggesting it was all water-deposited. In places there were two levels of cobbles and towards the SW end of the street the organic layer lay over the lower cobbles which were set in boulder clay. At the W end of Market Street a N-S wall and an ENE-WSW wall, whose conjunction could not be examined, cut through all the deposits. A N-S ditch (Wth of top 1.9m) with silt at the base was identified at the W end of Market Street. It was cut into the boulder clay but from what level was not ascertained.

  Description

  Located on level ground on the S bank of the River Boyne and at the SW end of Market Street. Archaeological monitoring (96E0175) of a pipe trench identified a N-S ditch (Wth of top 1.9m) with silt at the base, which was at the W end of Market Street (Meenan 1996, 6). It was cut into the boulder clay but from what level was not ascertained. Another section of the ditch (L 24m; Wth 5m plus; D 2.2m), sealed with redeposited boulder clay T 0.5-0.9m) that extended E, was discovered in excavating (02E1671) two properties at the SW corner of Market street (Fallon 2006). Here the ditch ran along the W edge of the development site and cut through a thin layer of occupation material with animal bones but no ceramics over a metalled surface (Fallon 2003, 13). The basal fill of the ditch consisted of organic layers leavened with slip from the sides, but the upper fills were more homogenous and less organic (ibid. 16).

• ME036-048042 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  Situated just outside the S line of the town wall. Archaeological testing (01E1029) in three N-S trenches identified the town wall at a depth of 0.15-0.5m below the modern surface level, with archaeological deposits inside and outside. The wall was composed of large rectangular undressed limestone blocks and towards the W end it is built on subsoil (Wth 1.4m; H at N 1.4m; H at S 2.9m) and has a wide fosse (Wth of top c. 12m) outside it. The first undisturbed deposits were 1.3-1.5m below the present surface at the S end of the trenches. The medieval deposits were generally not excavated but at one point an undisturbed grey silt at the bottom of the fosse produced some seventeenth century tin-glazed ceramics. The re-deposited top infill of the fosse had been re-cut (Wth 4.5m; D c. 1.5m) lose to the wall in the central and W trenches, and inside the town wall there was a cut into the boulder clay at its W end. Towards the E end the wall was free-standing in a wet area with layers of organic silts abutting it inside and outside. A clearance of 2-3m from the line of the town wall was observed in the new development and the new buildings were constructed on raft foundations above the level of medieval deposits.

• ME036-048043 House - medieval
  Description

  Archaeological testing (01E1202) on a small, irregularly shaped development site (dims c. 19m E-W; 13m N-S) between Market Street and Castle Street revealed medieval occupation levels and a corner of a large late medieval house which were fully resolved under the same licence. A thin subsoil overlies bedrock which sloped down to the S (D 0.45-1.15m). The earliest feature was a partly rock-cut ditch (Wth of top 3-6m; max. D 2m) with Ham Green pottery likely to be late twelfth century in date at the base beneath redeposited subsoil. The top fill, a green/grey cultivation soil, covered much of the site and filled intercutting pits in the subsoil. Only a portion of the N wall (int. L 4m plus; Wth 0.7m; max. H 0.7m) and the E wall (int. L 2m; Wth 0.9m; H 0.5m) of a late medieval building were exposed but there was a recess for a fireplace (Wth 0.7m plus; D 0.54m) in the E wall. Three occupation floors were represented by introduced clays covered by loamy soils with ash sealed beneath grey silty clays. A masonry wall extending N from the NE corner of the building was added, and a stone-lined pit with a stone-lined base just NE of the building, together with a deep rock-cut pit that contained water and could have been a well, are probably associated with the house. The finds included roof and floor tile fragments and sherds of medieval pottery. (Hayden 2002) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 8 July 2019

• ME036-048044 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  Located just inside the SW angle of the medieval town of Trim. Archaeological testing (01E0615) on the W side of Emmet St. identified subsoil sloping down from N (D 0.5m) to S (D 0.8-1.3m) but this was largely covered with a garden soil that contained mixed wares including nineteenth century material, and no medieval occupation was identified (Hayden 2002). An earthen bank with trees and mortared stone tumble on the W side (total Wth c. 3m; H c.1m) formed the W edge of the development site on the line of the town wall. Removal of the trees and tumble revealed an earthen bank (Wth c. 2m; H c. 0.7m) with a stone-faced and cemented W edge. Excavation of the bank exposed the core of the town wall as rubble masonry bonded with friable off-white coarse sandy mortar beneath the stone-facing and an orange clay (Hayden 2002a).

• ME036-048056 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  Archaeological testing (02E1671) on a development site at the junction of Market Street and Emmet Street identified medieval deposits (Duffy 2006) that were resolved under the same licence (Fallon 2006). A section of the large ditch (ME036-048039-) was one of the earliest features. This was sealed beneath an extensive layer (T 0.6-1m) that is interpreted as the outcast of the ditch (Fallon 2003, 14). A number of pits were cut through this layer but the surface from which they were cut had been truncated. The pits, all unlined and containing some domestic refuse, respected the position of the underlying ditch, but only one is described as a cess pit. The footing of an E-W wall was uncovered at the N extent of the development site with a number of metalled surfaces to the N that are interpreted as a succession of street surfaces interspersed with inorganic layers (ibid. 17), and the stone-lined well (ME036-048077-) could be contemporary. The well was sealed by mixed layers including burnt clays, ash and organic material, with post-medieval ceramics appearing in the upper levels. Two small, post-medieval, clay-bonded structures were uncovered at the SW corner of the site (ibid. 18). One (ext. dims 2.2m x 2.9m) is attached at its SE corner to the NW corner of the second (ext. dims 2m x 3.8m), with a mortar floor W of the latter.

• ME036-048060 Town hall
  Description

  Trim was probably incorporated as a town by Hugh de Lacy before his death in 1186, although its earliest surviving charter was granted by his son Walter c. 1194. In the only surviving, seventeenth century copy of the charter the town is granted the same rights as Bristol, but it has been argued that this is a scribal error for Breteuil (Hillaby 1992-3, 28-9), which was a more generous form of charter to the burgesses. The town would be largely self-governing under a portreeve and council, who were elected and who would have met regularly to discuss the town’s affairs. A tholsel or town hall would not be a prerequisite for a council but such a structure would also serve as a market hall where the council officials could preside to settle disputes and collect any tolls that might be levied. A tholsel could be used for any legitimate public meeting such as those of guilds. In 1455 Sir Robert Barnwell held an inquisition or enquiry in the guildhall of Trim, and it may the site described in references of 1570 and 1593 as: ‘a great waste messauge uncovered called the Blackhall in the Fayer street’ (Potterton 2005, 161-2). The location of any tholsel or hall at Trim is not known, and even its existence is uncertain, but the most likely position is thought to be at the junction of Market St. and Bridge St. (Hennessy 2003, 3). A building here is depicted as U-shaped, open to the street, and described as the Meat Market on the five-feet to one mile Fair plan of the 1830s (ibid. Map 9). This is at the heart of the trading area and close to the river. Trim was at the upper extent of the navigable river, and the goods that might have been available are recorded in a mandate of 1244: ‘to Walter de Godarville, seneschal of Meath, to cause to be retained all the wines, hides, wool, cloth and iron which he can find at the fair of Trim, together with 500 crannocks of wheat and 500 crannocks of dry oats…’ The S end of High Street was known as Fishable Street in the seventeenth century, so sea fish would also have been for sale.

• ME036-077 Burial ground
  Description

  In August 1967 human remains were uncovered (E001133) during digging foundations at Emmet Street, Trim. These burials were uncovered in foundation trenches (D 0.45m). Several complete skeletons and portions of others were uncovered in situ. The orientation of the graves was not always evident. There was no evidence for any type of stone lining around the burials, and the individual grave-cuts do not seem to have been identifiable. All the remains were those of adults, two of whom appeared to be younger adults (Cahill & Sikora 2011, vol 2, 408-416). Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Date of upload: 14 March 2013
