Recorded monuments

• ME050-001 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated on a NW-SE spur. A large circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 60m) described as a ‘Fort’ is depicted on the 1836 edition of the OS 6-inch map. It is represented on the 1908 edition as a D-shaped hachured feature (ext. dims c. 65m NW-SE; c. 50m NE-SW) with the perimeter formed by a straight NW-SE drain at NE, and the interior is overlain by a NW-SE field bank. It had been removed by 1969 (SMR file) but traces of a D-shaped enclosure (int. dims c. 55m NW-SE; c. 30m NE-SW) defined by a fosse is visible on Google Images (24/03/2012; 27/06/2019). See the attached enhanced view from Google Earth (27/06/2019) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987).

• ME050-002 Church
  Description

  Situated on a rise in a fairly level landscape. A church at Balimacglassan is listed in the ecclesiastical taxation (1302-06) of Pope Nicholas IV (Cal. doc. Ire., 5, 254). Ussher (1622) describes the church as in reasonable repair but the chancel was ruined (Erlington 1847-64, 1, lxxi). A ruined church is marked on the Down Survey (1656-8) parish map at Ballymaglassan. According to Dopping (1682-5) the church and chancel of St Kenan’s (Kieran ?) were ruined since 1641 but the walls were standing and the graveyard was not enclosed (Ellison 1971, 38). A new church, described as a ‘neat little edifice’ was built in 1800 (Lewis 1837, 1, 146), but this is now closed. The E window from this church, which had come from the Church of Ireland church at Ratoath is now in the E wall of St Seachnall's Church of Ireland Church at Dunshaughlin (Kenny 1994-5). The site of the medieval church, of which there is no physical trace, is within a D-shaped graveyard (max. dims c. 50m NE-SW; c. 40m NW-SE) defined by masonry walls with straight sides at NE and SE. The headstones date from c. 1780 to c. 1930 and have been published (ibid). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987).
