## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- ME031-024: Castle - tower house, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CME031-024----. Situated on the SE bank of a SW-NE section of the River Boyne with the stream c. 60m to the NW. According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) Bartholomew Cusack owned 228 acres at Troubly in Deece barony in 1640, and the property included ‘a Castle and two Corne Mills’ (Simington 1940, 136). The castle is depicted on the Down Survey (1656-8) barony map as a small gabled house (http://downsurvey.tcd.ie/). It is described (Wilde 1850, 106) as the remains of a square tower with circular corner towers. It is represented on the OS 25-inch map as two circular towers c. 20m apart, but one might have been a corner tower from a bawn. The last remains were blown down in a storm in the 1970s and it has been removed without trace in a farmyard. The parish church of Trubley (ME037-001----) is c. 170m to the SW. 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: 6 July 2016
- ME037-001: Church, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CME037-001----. Situated at the N tip of a low SW-NE spur, with a small SE-NW fold and stream c. 30m to the NE and a SW-NE section of the River Boyne c. 110m to the NW. A church at Turbirvile is listed in the ecclesiastical taxation (1302-06) of Pope Nicholas IV (Cal. doc. Ire., 5, 255). Ussher (1622) describes the parish church and chancel as completely ruinous. According to Dopping’s visitation (1682-5) the church and chancel of St Luke at Trubly (alias Tubberville) had been ruined since 1641 and the graveyard was not enclosed (Ellison 1972, 7). The fragmentary foundations of a divided nave (int. dims 10.55m E-W; 5.5m N-S) and chancel (int. dims 5.5m E-W; 3.5m N-S) structure is represented by the foundations of walls (Wth 0.8m-1m; H 0.1-0.3m normally to 0.8m at W). Doorways and other features cannot be recognised. A fragment of the basin of an octagonal font with a circular basin (int. diam. 0.53m) recorded in 1969 (SMR file) is now missing. It has a shallow chamfer underneath (dim. of base 0.36m; H of fragment 0.16m). The church is depicted as being in a D-shaped graveyard (dims c. 48m ENE-WSW; c. 37m NNW-SSE) with fairly straight sides at E and S only on the 1909 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, but the graveyard and its perimeter had been removed before 1969. Burials have been encountered within living memory in the vicinity of the church, which is kept under pasture, with some bushes at the W and E ends. 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: 10 March, 2015

The parish church of Trubley (ME037-001----) is depicted as being in a D-shaped graveyard (dims c. 48m ENE-WSW; c. 37m NNW-SSE) with fairly straight sides at E and S only on the 1909 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, but the graveyard and its perimeter had been removed before 1969 (SMR file).

Situated on a rise on a slight N-facing slope. A small circular ring-ditch (diam. c. 5m) defined by a single fosse feature is visible on aerial images (OSAP: 1995). It was first identified in 2012 by Mr Colin Byrne, Briarleas, Co. Meath, and it is also visible on Google Earth (14/07/2018). Compiled by Geraldine Stout Date of upload: 13/03/2012 Amended: 21 August 2019

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
