Designated sites

• Proposed Natural Heritage Area: Barmeath Woods 001801

Recorded monuments

• LH018-035001 Church
  Description

  The following description is derived from both the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986) and the 'Archaeological Survey of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1991). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Built of roughly coursed limestone blocks and greywacke. The chancel or the remains thereof is distinguished from the nave by the narrowing of the former at the S side of the church (chancel int. dim. c. 3.7m; nave int. dims. c. 11m by c. 5.8m). It has a tall narrow W gable with twin bellcote, a N and a S doorway in the nave and two remaining windows. The E gable is totally destroyed but the other walls are more or less intact. The S doorway has punch-dressed sandstone blocks forming a two-centred arch. A gap in the N wall opposite the S doorway probably indicates the position of the N doorway, but there is only evidence for its W jamb. The window in the N wall of the chancel is lintelled and has an embrasure but no cut stone. The one in the S wall has a rounded arch of greywacke with no cut stone. Just inside the S doorway to the E is a small recess, presumably to contain holy water. There is no obvious evidence for windows in the nave. The type of doorway and the bell-gable indicate a date in the fifteenth or sixteenth century for this church. (CLAJ 1944, 283)
