• ME037-028 Stone head
  Description

  Two stone heads that had adorned St John’s holy Well (ME037-028001-) area still preserved at the location, set into the ground. 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: 21 August 2019

• ME037-028001 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Situated on a fairly level landscape at the bottom of a NE-facing slope. St John’s Well was certainly in use since the seventeenth century and pilgrimages to it on St John’s Eve (23rd June) were forbidden by the Irish Parliament in 1708. Tradition held that when John the Baptist struck his staff into the ground in Palestine the point emerged with waters of the River Jordan at this well. In 1761 the Roman Catholic bishops meeting at Drogheda forbade the pilgrimage to St John’s Well because of the scandalous excesses of the accompanying fair. The fair was moved to Culmullin, c. 3 km to the S, in 1807 but devotions at the well continued undiminished. (French 2012, 56-9) Cogan (1862-70, vol. 2, 351-2) describes the old well at the height of its popularity as: '… in no way remarkable. It is covered by an arch, a front wall conceals it from view, a stone conductor lets out the water, and under this stream those who visit for the benefit of health are for a moment placed. Under the water-spout is a stone flag, four feet in length by one foot six inches in breath; there are seats each side, and on the front wall two images, now all but defaced, which probably represented St Mary and St. John.‘ Devotions were also held on the feast of SS Peter and Paul on the 29th June, and cures were reported from its water. During the 1930s crutches were left at the well. In 1923 the Silesian Fathers founded an agricultural Collage at Warrenstown House and put railings around the well when the foundations of huts were found. In 1944 the well assumed its final form with a wall retaining the ground behind and a spout producing the water between the two stone heads. In 2018 a new owner removed the wall and the well is now a shore with the two heads and the limestone name plate from the 1940s at ground level.

• ME037-066 Fulacht fia
  Description

  Situated in a fairly level landscape with a canalised ESE-WNW section of the River Skane c. 10m to the N. Archaeological testing (04E1499) by R. Tobin on the line of a sewer pipe identified an area of broken and burnt stones (excavations.ie 2004:1236), which was subsequently excavated (05E0429) within the wayleave by S. Conran (excavations.ie 2005:1263). A large mound of broken and burnt stone in a charcoal-enriched matrix (dims 9m E-W; 7m N-S; max. T 0.38m) was uncovered over a natural soil of light grey compact clay that slopes down steeply to the N, but much of the mound extends outside the N limit of the excavation. A rectangular, wood-lined trough (dims 2m NW-SE; 1.18m NE-SW; max. D 0.3m) with a stakehole in each corner was uncovered c. 2m S of the densest part of the mound. Three wooden planks were present, one in situ on the base against the SE edge of the trough, and wood lining the sides was represented by staining. A sample of birch charcoal from the primary fill of loose sandy silt, charcoal and heat-shattered stone in the trough produced a C14 date of 1260-1000 cal. BC. This fill had some animal bones which were partly charred, but the secondary fill was a light grey silt mottled with some yellow flecks, and marks the abandonment of the monument. A sample of alder charcoal from the mound has a C14 date of 1200-970 cal. BC. No artefacts were recovered, but the mound survives outside the excavated area to the N.
