Recorded monuments

• ME050-009 Church
  Description

  Situated on a rise in an undulating landscape. A decayed chapel is listed at Veysingstowne in the Civil Survey (1654-6) (Simington 1940, 126), but a chapel at Vessington in the large parish of Dunboyne does not occur in the ecclesiastical lists. However, it is amongst nine chapels recorded by Cogan (1862-70, vol. 1, 189-90), who says that this church had been destroyed and its graveyard desecrated c. 1830 when cartloads of bones were removed. A ditch had been dug through it and bones were protruding from its sides. It is marked as a subrectangular area (dims c. 45m N-S; c. 15m E-W at N; c. 40m E-W at S) on the 1836 and 1910 eds of the OS 6-inch map and it is described on both as the site of a graveyard. It is recorded locally that bones were uncovered there in the mid-20th century (SMR file, 1968). This may have been a large enclosed monument defined by two concentric earthen banks (ext. diam. c. 120m). A segment survives radiating from the centre to the NE (radius c. 45m) defined by field banks at NW and S and by a scarp (C 55m; H 0.5m) NE-E. About 30m beyond the scarp there is a shallow fosse (Wth c. 3-5m; D 0.2-0.3m) NE-E. There is no evidence of a church or burial. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 10 April, 2015

• ME050-009001 Graveyard
  Description

  Situated on a rise in an undulating landscape. It is marked as a subrectangular area (dims c. 45m N-S; c. 15m E-W at N; c. 40m E-W at S) on the 1836 and 1909 eds of the OS 6-inch map and it is described on both as the site of a graveyard. Cogan (1862-70, 1, 189-90) records that the church (ME050-009----) had been destroyed and its graveyard desecrated c. 1830 when cartloads of bones were removed. A ditch had been dug through it and bones were protruding from its sides. It is recorded locally that bones were uncovered there in the mid-20th century (SMR file, 1968).

• ME050-010 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  A castle at Vesingstowne (29) in Dunboyne parish and barony is marked on the Down Survey (1656-8) barony and parish maps (http://downsurvey.tcd.ie/). It is represented as a large structure with towers, a chimney, and a large gateway. According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) Robert Rochford of Kilbride parish owned 170 acres there in 1640 including ‘an old Ruinous Castle, a decayed chaple and ten tenements’ (Simington 1940, 126). Within the large parish he also owned land at Ballymacolly (73 acres), Castletown (Caulstown 96 acres), and Cornellstowne (110 acres) (ibid. , 117, 126). The castle is depicted as a fragment of a wall (L c. 5m E-W) on the 1836 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Banks and scarps, some connected with field drainage and a piece of fallen masonry are the only indication of the monument. 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 June 2016

• ME050-063 Enclosure - large enclosure
  Description

  Situated on a fairly level landscape. A large oval enclosure (dims c. 220m WNW-ESE; c. 100m NNE-SSW) that appears to be defined by a low earthen bank is visible on Google Earth (27/06/2019, 14/05/2020). It is bisected by a WNW-ESE canalised stream, and is also visible on LiDAR imagery from the Open Topographic Viewer. It was first reported by Jean Charles Caillére. See the attached enhanced view from Google Earth (27/07/2019) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 January 2022
